How to use NSIS 2.45 to make a PS CS2 Installer !

Hello folks,
i really became interested in this Forum since i knew that how much a Portable Application can save time and increase Productivity:
U see i wanted to make a Portable Photoshop CS2, and i ended in this topic, https://portableapps.com/node/1426 although i hvn't followed it yet , busy writing this.
: i want to make a NSIS installer, and i m having a hard time understanding and making a NSIS script and making an Installer.
Their are no Proper material for NSIS users, can some show a detailed method on how i can use or make or create an NSIS script. So that i can make an PS CS2 Installer.
Hope u r understanding. It would be good to h' a single PS CS2.exe file that would run the whole Photoshop program, than all those fragmented files in a folder.

Many Regards:

NSIS Portable comes with a manual. I learned basically everything I know from it Smile

It's under "Documentation" and titled "NSIS Users Manual"

NSIS script to make an Installer for a Folder.!

Understanding the Documentation is quite confusing for a Novice users like me, although i was interested in NSIS for quite a while.
Can someone create/make/write a NSIS script , say i h' a folder that contains a lot all the necessary file for a program say Photoshop/Flash Get etc etc.and i want the installer to allow the User to prompt once as to where the Folder should be installed. Hope u r' understanding me.
So what would be the Script like, this was the example of a simple nsis script ie.,Example1, hope NSIS users will recognise it,

; The name of the installer
Name "Example1"

; The file to write
OutFile "example1.exe"

; The default installation directory
InstallDir $DESKTOP\Example1

; Request application privileges for Windows Vista
RequestExecutionLevel user

;--------------------------------

; Pages

Page directory
Page instfiles

;--------------------------------

; The stuff to install
Section "" ;No components page, name is not important

; Set output path to the installation directory.
SetOutPath $INSTDIR

; Put file there
File example1.nsi

SectionEnd ; end the section

So what if i want to make an Installer that would pack the Folder and its content.
