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.
Also available are some screenshots of an installation.
The older AbiWord installer based on last NSIS v1 release is also available (AbiWord.nsi one directory down), but it is no longer maintained.
