Thanks for your work on this, Zach.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I was thinking just the other day "Gee, I have some weird Portable NSIS thing on my usb stick that's not PAF and that's real old, maybe I should look for something newer." Biggrin

Signature automatically removed for being too awesome.

The wording of this sounds like it's to make Windows installers which are packaged as portable apps. I can't think of a better way of putting it without departing from the party line, so I think that's what's needed.

Ignoring that point, well done Zach, and thank you both, John and Zach Smile

Thanks a bunch Zach!

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world

Thanks for taking this one over from me Zach, glad to see it released

If you or John are interested, I had created a high-res version of the tan and green NSIS logo a while back. It's here
