Question

I am building a plugin for NSIS with VS 2010 and I would love to set up the project so that a test setup is automatically built from a simple NSI file.

All seems fine except I can’t figure out how to make NSIS look for my plugin in my project’s output folder instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Plugins\*.dll only.

Are there any commands I can put in my NSI script to make NSIS look for my freshly built plugin outside of “standard plugins folder”? It seems rather odd to have to copy my DLL each time I wanted to test it.

Any help is appreciated.

You can use !addplugindir directive, see nsis compile-time commands.
