About
My primary job function is to repackage software for deployment in my company using the Altiris Software Delivery system. I choose NSIS for the following reasons.
- Unicode Support - My company is international and often the package requires the user prompting in several languages.
- Small foot print - When deploying the packages thousands of systems to a remote sites, size matters.
- Powerful scripting /custom actions - Allows for detailed system validation before the install proceeds.
- Custom Return Codes - Altiris software deployment's reporting relies heavily on the return codes generated by the installs.
- It's not MSI - Windows Installer packages are fine for installing software but was not designed for repackaging.
- No scripting engines required - VBScript is fine for simple tasks but there is a greater chance that a VBScript will fail verses an executable.
[2016-01-07] I have returned to programming in NSIS and will be updating my contributions and adding new ones soon!
