What is the format of the output file? If I wanted to write an unpack how would I set about it? NigelHorne 13:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NSIS generates installers, usually in the .exe format. It is not a compresser like WinZip, but utilizes 3d-party compression formats (like LZAW) to get smaller installation files; writing an unpacker is not needed. 62.251.111.252 12:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship

Why there is no info on the Firefox / NSIS spyware scandal? Some malicious code installs into Firefox browsers and Thunderbird mail clients via JAR files by abusing a yet unpatched NSIS security hole and the bombards the user with many pop-up windows and downloads further spyware. The Net is up in arms about it, especially in Europe, where Firefox has 20% share in browsing. Firefox developers accuse NSIS developers of indifference and lazyness in fixing. 195.70.32.136 09:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
