How to add plugin for nsis package?

• Version: 19.49.2

• Target: I want to use a plugin: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ExecDos_plug-in.

My step:

• I download the plugin zip
• unzip and got “Plugins” dir
• I copy the “Plugins” dir to my custom include file location dir
• In my custom include file, I add !addplugindir '.\Plugins'
• use Exec-dosc::exec.
• throw Error: Plugin not found, cannot call ExecDos::exec

so, how to add plugin correctly?

@develar First of all, this shouldn’t be closed because it doesn’t work. There are multiple issues opened and I’m not sure why no one is trying to fix them.

1. Putting plugins in the build folder doesn’t work.
2. Also, even if it did, keeping this stuff in the build folder makes no sense because for many people, build folder is an eventual target where production files are built.

So, can you please make an optional flag somewhere in the yml file where we can provide a custom path in which we can keep plugins, includes etc? Would really appreciate the answer on this one and I’m sure, many other people.

Works for me. use !addplugindir ${PROJECT_DIR}\installer\plugins, and put plugin into directory ${PROJECT_DIR}\installer\plugins. You can change installer\plugins to any directory you want in project
