I've been loaned a sweet little ARM-based laptop and installed a program which seemed to use the NSIS installer. Is there an NSIS for ARM? (Perhaps the ARM laptop can run x86-based apps?) I need to package some files for Windows on ARM.
thanks |

I should have phrased that better: can NSIS make an installer which will work on an ARM cpu (the package would be built on an x86/64-based Windows machine)

You can make arm based installers but it's still not fully tested yet. You will have to compile it yourself. If you have an arm compiler, you can use TARGET_ARCH='arm64' on the command line.
[edit] Reading up on an article on the microsoft site, you can run a 32bit windows exe on arm using emulation (the official nsis release is 32bit). So there is more than one option. "Only a MouseHelmet will save you from a MouseTrap" -Jason Ross (Me) NSIS 3 POSIX Ninja Wiki Profile |

Native arm64 support is not complete. Most of NSIS will compile but I don't have hardware to test on.
Since the Windows ARM64 supports 32-bit x86 emulation you can use a normal NSIS installer with some minor changes: Quote:
