Run Command After Compilation

Author: Jeff Doozan (talk, contrib)

NSIS3 added the !finalize command that should be used as a replacement for this script.

Description

Include this script to run commands after build finishes. This can be useful for signing installers or other post-build events.

This has only been tested with Windows NT (NT/XP/Vista). It will probably not work on other systems.

Usage

Normal:

${PostExec1} PostBuild.bat

The number after "PostExec" is the number of arguments. If you need to call a program with additional arguments, be sure you use the correct PostExec#

${PostExec9} signtool.exe sign /f key.pfx /p pass /t http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode installer.exe

Examples

Normal:

!include PostExec.nsh
 
!define OUTFILE "C:\MyApp.exe"
OutFile ${OUTFILE}
 
; sign the installer after it has been created
${PostExec2} sign.bat ${OUTFILE}
