Description

This NSIS script was written by Smile2Me (Hendri Adriaens). It demonstrates how to use NSIS to determine the length of a file without having to use an extension DLL like FileSize. This is the preferred way of finding out the length of a file.

The Script

OutFile FileSizeNew.exe
Name FileSizeNew
 
; FileSizeNew
;
; Script to find the size of a file.
; Much more efficient than the
; ExtensionDLL FileSize :-)
