The NSIS development kit installer sets up your computer so that you can compile a .nsi file by simply right-clicking on it in explorer, and selecting 'compile'.
\b The /V switch followed by a number between 0 and 4 will set the verbosity of output accordingly. 0=no output, 1=errors only, 2=warnings and errors, 3=info, warnings, and errors, 4=all output.
\b The /O switch followed by a filename tells the compiler to print its log to that file (instead of the screen)
Generated installers and uninstallers accept a few options on the command line. These options give the user a bit more control over the installation process.
\S1{} Common Options
\b /NCRC disables the CRC check, unless \c{\R{acrccheck}{CRCCheck} force} was used in the script.
\b /S runs the installer or uninstaller silently. See \k{silent} for more information.
\b /D sets the default installation directory (\R{varother}{$INSTDIR}), overriding \R{ainstalldir}{InstallDir} and \R{ainstalldirregkey}{InstallDirRegKey}. It must be the last parameter used in the command line and must not contain any quotes, even if the path contains spaces.
\S1{} Uninstaller Specific Options
\b _?= sets $INSTDIR. It also stops the uninstaller from copying itself to the temporary directory and running from there. It can be used along with \R{execwait}{ExecWait} to wait for the uninstaller to finish. It must be the last parameter used in the command line and must not contain any quotes, even if the path contains spaces.
