Question

I have a java code, where I give some variable dynamically. I need to pass that value to the nsis script. For example I will get a value of the variable age at runtime, and pass it to the var of the nsis script. Is it possible. Any suggestions…

The way I pass data to the NSIS script is with ant. When you build your installer you can place tokens in the NSI file and replace them. example using @product.name@ in the NSI file.:

  <replace file="${release.dir}/installer.nsi" token="@product.name@" value="${product.name}"/>
