NSIS Installer Name

Is it possible to set the nsis installer file generated when compiling the installer?

something like:

makensis /ExeFile:myInstall-v4.1.2.3.exe install.nsi

That would be keen.

Solution

  • You can define a symbol on the command line using the /D switch like so:

    makensis /DMyInstallerName="myInstall-v4.1.2.3.exe" install.nsi

    Then in your install script:

    !ifdef MyInstallerName
    OutFile "${MyInstallerName}"
!else
    OutFile "myInstall.exe"
!endif
