Download Install Script Source (zipped)

The zip file contains source for the installer script I wrote to build the ImportGHS plug-in installation programs. This script was written to be used with the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) version 2.04b. NSIS is a free, open-source installation builder written by the same guys that made winamp. An excellent NSIS script editor is available at HM NIS EDIT. The zip file contains the following:

• ImportGHS_Installer.nsi - The script that NSIS uses to build the installation executable
• RhinoPlugIn.nsh - Contains functions that are called by the main script. These functions would be reusable for any Rhino plug-in script.
• License.txt - A simple text file containing my ImportGHS plug-in license.
• BuildInstallation.bat - batch file for building installation executables for versions 2 and 3 of Rhino

As is, the script will not actually build an installation executable because I did not include all the files that are packaged (plug-in, help file, supporting DLLs). If you make changes to this script that you think would be useful for others, please pass it on to me and I'll update the zip file on this web page.
