Welcome!

Thank for your interest in Graphical Installer for
NSIS!
This manual describes Graphical Installer (GI) for NSIS a NSIS
extension for creating cool looking installers with custom
design.
Warning:
This manual is related only to Graphical Installer for NSIS
(Nullsoft Scriptable Install System). All phrases 'Graphical
Installer' mean 'Graphical Installer for NSIS'.
For information about Graphical Installer for Inno Setup see
appropriate manual in Graphical Installer for Inno Setup
package.
We suppose that you have at least a little experience with
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS), with its
syntax and functions. If no then you can read NSIS
awesome manual.
The manual is divided into three chapters:
To create cool looking skinned installer (without reading the
manual and learning NSIS for ages) we developed tool called
Graphical Installer Wizard (GIW).
Graphical Installer Wizard is currently available
as standalone application and plug-ins for several IDEs. IDEs are
not part of Graphical Installer installation package - you need to
download them separately.
We recommend you to use these IDEs for an easy way of creating and
editing script files (.nsi and .nsh files). These tools provide a
lot of functionality (like syntax highlighting, word completion,
...) which can resolve many errors occurring during
development.
