Nullsoft Installation System

NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a tool that allows programmers to create such installers for Windows. It is released under an open source license and is completely free for any use.

NSIS can create Windows installers that are capable of installing, uninstalling, setting system settings, extracting files, etc. Because NSIS is based on script files, you can create both simple or advanced installers.

NSIS is created to be small, fast and and efficient. While other installers often add hundreds of kilobytes or several megeabytes to your installer data, a full featured NSIS installer has an overhead of only 34 KB.
