I had a play with NSIS a while ago. It seems to be short on tutorial material, but the basics are fairly simple, except that I couldn't get it to work (failed while installing). NSIS seems do do more than a cat would.
Nope, the cat is infinitely powerful, because you have full control over the initial installer.exe that is run. If anything the cat method plus a custom installer probably has far more power and options than NSIS ever could have. The installer I did for Pingus creates icons in the start menu, but adding a few registry keys is very easy. I would hope to completely destroy the src/winhugs/register directory and move that logic into the installer, which is where it belongs. Thanks Neil
