Excelsior Installer
Setup authoring tool with NSIS integration
Description
Excelsior Installer is a freeware tool to create installation packages for basic installation scenarios.
In general, it is an independent setup generator itself. But since version 1.8 this product provides NSIS integration, that allows one to use it as GUI wizard for NSIS to ease NSIS learning curve and simplify some basic project creation tasks.
To build the NSIS installation package you use the packager wizard of the Excelsior Installer and set up basic package options, like files to include, shortcuts, license agreement, splash screen image, defauls for installation root folder and Start-menu folder etc. Then you use menu command File->Export to NSIS and get the compleete scripts set to build your installation with NSIS compiler. The wizard is able to run NSIS compiler itself so you may test your installation right away.
After that you may edit your scripts to customize the package as necessary.
NSIS v2.40 or later is required.
