NSIS/Other installer scripting

Post by Hmail »

Hi,

For my current addon Handle NZB, I need a new installer. I have looked into NSIS scripting, but that seems quite a lot to me, and I don't have that much time to figure everything out. So I hope someone would be so nice to help me out :)

First of all, it needs to do just a few things:
- Copy an executable to a new folder, %ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\HandleNZB-0.5.1 (or something similar)
- Associate .nzb files with this executable.

I have written a small license file which says everyone is free to use it, and help out with the development or learn from it, and it would be nice to show that too.

Basically that's all it needs to do. And, obviously, it needs to remove everything with an uninstaller if needed. There's also a configuration file stored, in the %AppData% folder, that needs to be removed if requested.

I'm not bound to NSIS, but it looked cool. I don't know any other installers, and I couldn't get the .net installer system working.
I know I might seem lazy if I just ask someone to write a script for me, but if you can point me out to an easy direction to do this, that would be great too.

Thanks a lot in advance!
