Revision as of 10:12, 16 November 2011

I've created that page because of the following:

  • I needed to install "Dialogs" plugin, which is not included in NSIS distribution
  • Installation information is missing in the plugin's "readme.txt" and wiki article
  • General plugin installation is missing in the wiki (searched the FAQ category), it is presented only in manual.

P.S. The plugin was installed, yes.

Plug-in works without header

Today I downloaded a plug-in, namely the AccessControl plug-in. After unpacking I could not find any header file (*.nsh) which is assumed to be mandatory. I just tried my luck and copied the *.dll-files in the Plugin-directory. And yes, it worked! " Processing plugin dlls: "I:\imp\tools\imp\nsis\nsis-2.46\Plugins\*.dll"

  - AccessControl::ClearOnFile

..." Thus the header file seems to be not mandatory anymore? SmallStep 10:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
