I can supply a nice example script if you want a starting point that's in between the too-simple and more complex ones on the nsis wiki. But you should probably just start with the too-simple examples, and then add the missing bits that make the final installer better piece at a time, that way you end up understanding it all better.
I guess the ultimate question in the context of OBS is how to get the installable built in OBS. I would guess that step one is to get agreement on which builder to choose. Although I think INNO Setup is a worthy contender, I would be happy with any builder. Perhaps it is best to start with a wish list of what the builder should allow. A few of my wishes are: - Manipulate the registry. Especially for things like file associations. - Make installables that can be run quietly (e.g., by a meta-installer package). - Make an uninstall program for the package. - Support adding directories to the user's PATH. That is, do not assume that all apps are GUI. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
