I want to call a function (which calculates my version number) when my NSIS script is compiling, but not while it’s executing. Is this possible? It uses nsExec and basic string manipulation functions.

    Sweet! It’s possible: see http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Invoking_NSIS_run-time_commands_on_compile-time

    The basic idea is:

    1. Compile a separate script that generates an executable
    2. Run the executable (via !system, at compile time) in your main script – and this generates a text file (which !defines whatever you need)
    3. !include the text file in your main script

    and presto! You’ve got some stuff generated at compile time in your script.
