# NSIS Dependency Installer
**Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) Dependency Installer** Can Download And Install Any Dependency Such As .NET, Visual C++ Or SQL Server During Your Application's Installation. In Addition, It Is Easy To Add Your Own Dependencies As Well.
## Installation And Usage
1. Download And Install [NSIS 3.11+](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page).
2. Download [This Repository](https://github.com/rc-chuah/NSISDependencyInstaller/archive/main.zip) Or Clone It `git clone https://github.com/rc-chuah/NSISDependencyInstaller`.
3. Open The Extracted _ExampleSetup.nsi_ File.
4. Comment Out Dependency Macro Calls Inside _.onInit_ Function To Disable Installing Them:
```nsis
!insertmacro Dependency_AddVC2013 ; Installed In Example Setup
;!insertmacro Dependency_AddVC2013 ; Commented Out And Not Installed In Example Setup
```
5. Modify Other Sections Like _[MainSection] [-AdditionalIcons] [-Post] [Uninstall]_ As Necessary.
6. Build The Setup Using Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) Compiler.
## Integration
You Can Also Just Include _CodeDependencies.nsh_ File Into Your Setup And Call The Desired _Dependency_Add_ Macros (Some May Need Defining Their Exe File Path Before The Include):
```nsis
!include "CodeDependencies.nsh"
; Define ...
Function .onInit
; Add The Dependencies You Need
!insertmacro Dependency_AddDotNet90
; ...
FunctionEnd
; Section ...
```
## Details
You Have Two Ways To Distribute The Dependency Installers. By Default, Most Dependencies Will Be Downloaded From The Official Website. Another Way Is To Pack The Dependency Into A Single Executable Setup Like So:
* Include The Dependency Setup File By Defining The Source:
```nsis
File "dxwebsetup.exe"
```
* Call _ExtractTemporaryFile_ Macro Before The Corresponding _Dependency_Add_ Macros
```nsis
!insertmacro ExtractTemporaryFile "dxwebsetup.exe"
```
The Dependencies Are Installed Based On The System Architecture. If You Want To Install 32-Bit Dependencies On A 64-Bit System You Can Force 32-Bit Mode Like So:
```nsis
!insertmacro Dependency_ForceX86 True ; Force 32-Bit Install Of Next Dependencies
!insertmacro Dependency_AddVC2013
!insertmacro Dependency_ForceX86 False ; Disable Forced 32-Bit Install Again
```
If You Only Deploy 32-Bit Binaries And Dependencies You Can Also Instead Just Not Define [${If} ${IsNativeARM64} ${ElseIf} ${RunningX64} ${Else} ${EndIf}], [${If} ${IsNativeARM64} ${ElseIf} ${IsNativeAMD64} ${ElseIf} ${IsNativeIA32} ${Else} Abort "Unsupported CPU Architecture!" ${EndIf}], [${If} ${RunningX64} ${Else} ${EndIf}], [SetRegView 64], [SetRegView 32], [${DisableX64FSRedirection}], [${EnableX64FSRedirection}] And [${IsWow64}] In [MainSection], [-AdditionalIcons], [-Post] And [Uninstall] Sections.
