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 termed as 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
- AccessControl::ClearOnRegKey
- AccessControl::DenyOnFile
<more functions from AccessControl>
Thus the header file seems to be not mandatory anymore? SmallStep 10:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
