\H{usage} MakeNSIS Usage
NSIS installers are generated by using the 'MakeNSIS' program to compile a NSIS script (.NSI) into an installer executable.
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'.

\H{installerusage} Installer Usage
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 $INSTDIR. It also stops the uninstaller from copying itself to the temporary directory and running from there. It can be used along with \R{execwait}{ExecWait} to wait for the uninstaller to finish. It must be the last parameter used in the command line and must not contain any quotes, even if the path contains spaces.
\S1{} Examples
\c installer.exe /NCRC
\c installer.exe /S
\c installer.exe /D=C:\Program Files\NSIS
\c installer.exe /NCRC /S /D=C:\Program Files\NSIS
\c uninstaller.exe /S _?=C:\Program Files\NSIS
\c # uninstall old version
\c ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\uninstaller.exe" /S _?=$INSTDIR'
