AbiWord

Links

See AbiWord.nsi at abisource.com for the installer used by AbiWord (version 2.x) when using the NSIS 2 branch. It is still a work in progress so I have only posted the link instead of the actual source. The installer requires NSIS version 2.

Description

While I do not claim it is the best example, it does demonstrate the use of the MODERN UI using multilingual capabilities (NOTE: some installer specific translations do not have corresponding NSIS translations), command line parsing support to effect behaviour, several sections and subsections (including initial add/modify/remove support), macros, and the use of several plugins including NSISdl and UnTGZ. I have tried to keep each snippet (most from or based on work in these archive pages) within its own file for easier reuse.

The older AbiWord installer based on last NSIS v1 release is also available (AbiWord.nsi one directory down), but it is no longer maintained.

There it is tucked away to the left, sandwiched between two homes: Worth our Weight (W.O.W)

A Savior At the Grocery Store

Numbly, I left my husband, Marty, at the hospital where I had been visiting two of my children and headed for the grocery store. Since it was eleven p.m., I drove to the only store I knew was open twenty-four hours a day. I turned my car motor off and rested my head against the seat.
