Well look in the latest version of the new beta's and look in Other/App'snamePortable and it should be under the name installer.nsi

found it, thanks
Does anybody know, how to compile the installer.nsi, means how to set-up the correct environment for compilation (i.e. folder structure, required files etc.)? Whenever I compile installer.nsi included in any portable App, I get the following compile Error from NSIS:
Error in macro MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_INIT on macroline 5
Error in macro MUI_GUIINIT on macroline 2
Error in macro MUI_FUNCTION_GUIINIT on macroline 4
Error in macro MUI_INSERT on macroline 11
Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGEFILE_BEGIN on macroline 4
!include: error in script: "C:\Programme\NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI\Language files\English.nsh" on line 9
Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGE on macroline 5
Error in script "F:\PortableApps\FileZillaPortable\Other\FileZillaPortableSource\Installer.nsi" on line 85 -- aborting creation process
Thanks
Franz
the error messages you get are there cause you don't have the macros in the same folder as the installer.nsi.

Background: I am trying to build a Portable App (dual-window file manager utility) and would like to embed it into the installer package!
BTW: Am I right, that the installer can be used also to build freeware (i.e. non-GPL) portable Apps? I remember to have read this somewhere else in the forum!
Thanks,
Franz
what's on line 9 of English.nsh?
I can personally compile it, so try again.

The problem was likely caused by wrong file structure of my app: missing "Files" subfolder containing the app files in the folder from which installer.nsi was compiled!
Now it works perfect!
1000 Thanks,

Not really, I did launchers for skype, mIRC and a couple more apps... you can make your launchers for personal use, but you can't distribute those apps.
