What Is nsisMultiMon
nsisMultiMon is a plugin for NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) that provides easy multi monitor management for installers. With this plugin, you can determine the number of monitors, get various coordinates and sizes, monitor namings or simply put the complete installer on another connected monitor.
nsisMultiMon was developed by Andreas Loeffler.
It was tested on Windows 2000 and Windows XP so far.
Please check out my homepage at http://www.unitedbytes.de or http://nsis.sourceforge.net for further updates of nsisMultiMon.

Simply copy the nsisMultiMon.dll in the "Plugins" folder of the NSIS installation directory. If you don't want to put it there, you have to add a "!addplugindir" directive on the top of your install script. Read the NSIS manual for more information.
