Topic: The NSIS script of SFC3: Rebalance Expansion installer

Though NSIS is not very widely used in SFC Community, I decided to give out the codes of my installer in case someone might want to try NSIS and don't know how to start.

These codes are combined from v2.0 and v2.5.1 installer, and will be used as a base for my next release. If you want to use it for your mod, don't forget to chage the names and remove the lines you don't need.

This is very cool of you. May mucho karma come your way. I don't know programming, but can usually figure out what I need to know from an example like this. I wish that someone would have been so kind a long time ago. Thanks!
