| - A quick-and-dirty tutorial on using NSIS: Overview of steps: 1. install 1. load and compile example1.nsi script in NSIS 1. verify creation of install file 1. test install file 1. verify installation Details:
* Install NSIS - assuming default location of "C:\Program Files\NSIS"
* Start NSIS
* Start -> Programs -> NSIS -> MakeNSISW (Compiler GUI)
* Load file example1.nsi
* File -> Load Script
* In the "File name" text box, enter "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Examples\example1.nsi"
* Click on the "Open" button
* You should see a lot of text like this: MakeNSIS v2.0 - Copyright 1999-2004 Nullsoft, Inc. Portions Copyright (C) 1995-1998 Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler (zlib).

* You should now have an installer file called "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Examples\example1.exe". Open Explorer to verify this.
* Back in MakeNSISW, click on the "Test Installer" button. A window should pop up with the title "Example1 Setup: Installation Folder"
* Click on the "Install" button, which will install the program in "C:\Program Files\Example1"
* The window should now say "Example1 Setup: Completed"
* You should now have the file "C:\Program Files\Example1\makensisw.exe". Open Explorer to verify this.
* Click on the "Close" button
* In MakeNSISW, click on the "Close" button
* Congratulations! MassTranslated on 25 Dec 2004. MassTranslated on Sun Apr 23 17:37:03 UTC 2006
