Useful Links
From pGina
This is a compiled list of external links that I find useful while developing pGina and pGina plugins. This is by no means a definitive list, but it's a good place for people to get started.
NSIS Scriptable Installer
This is the installer that I use for pGina 2.x and for the new development package. This is an open source installer that has been given to the community by Nullsoft, the makers of good ol' Winamp.
- NSIS Installer Main Page - Home page of the NSIS installer. This is a wiki that has links to anything you could need when using the NSIS installer
- NSIS Installer Downloads - Download page for the NSIS installer. Here you will find the latest version of NSIS that can be installed on either 32 or 64 bit systems.
- NSIS Developer Center - Developer Center Page - A good starting place to find scripts and utilities to help you with anything from getting started to developing dependency-aware installers.
Venis IX NSIS Development Environment
The Venis IX editor is a great, and free, development environment for the NSIS installer. It is lightweight, but has plenty of features to allow you to create the most advanced installers. Venis IX has syntax highlighting, code folding, function tool tips, and a list of NSIS functions that can be dragged into the main editor window. I have personally tested Venix IX on both 32 and 64 bit machines. Please note: Venis IX does NOT include a copy of the NSIS compiler with it, you MUST installer the NSIS installer before you can use Venis IX to compile installers.
