NSIS

The installer of NetIP is built using Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, aka NSIS. This page is here to help you install & configure NSIS for NetIP.

Install NSIS

1. Go to the NSIS Download page. Click on "Download". The current version used for NetIP is v3.09.
2. Launch the downloaded NSIS installer executable.
3. Follow the typical steps to install NSIS. Make sure to select "Full" when selecting the components to install.

Add NSIS to your PATH Environment Variable

When compiling the installer, the NetIP solution makes a direct call of makensis.exe located in your NSIS installation folder (located in C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS if you did a typical install).

Therefore, you must add the NSIS installation folder to your PATH Environment Variable. Otherwise, attempting to build the installer will result into a MSB3073 build error.

1. From the Start Menu, type "var". It should suggest "Modify the Environment Variables" as a Control Panel option, open it.
2. On System Properties window, inside the Advanced System Settings tab, click on Environment Variables button at the bottom of the tab.
3. In the Environment Variables window, under System Variables, locate and select the Path Variable. Click the Modify button.
4. In the Edit System Variable window, click on the New button and paste the path to your NSIS installation folder. By default it's C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS.
5. Click Ok on the 3 windows you opened successively to apply the change.
6. Restart Visual Studio to make it reload your Path variable.
