Detailed Description
The nsis module contains properties and rules for building EXE installers for Windows using the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS).
This module is available on all platforms.
Note: A typical NSIS script includes an OutFile command to set the filename of the generated installer executable. However, Qbs overrides any OutFile commands found in the script, and therefore, you must use the product.targetName property to set the filename.

Property Documentation
compilerFlags : stringList |
A list of additional flags for the NSIS compiler.
Default: Undefined
compilerName : string |
The name of the compiler binary.
This property should not normally need to be changed.
Default: "makensis"
compilerPath : string |
The directory where the compiler binary is located.
This property should not normally need to be changed.
Default: compilerName
compressor : string |
The compression algorithm used to compress files and data in the installer.
Setting this property overrides any SetCompressor command in the NSI file being compiled.
Possible values include: "default", "zlib", "zlib-solid", "bzip2", "bzip2-solid", "lzma", "lzma-solid".
Default: "default"
defines : stringList |
A list of preprocessor macros that get passed to the compiler.
To set macro values, use the following syntax:
cpp.defines: ["USE_COLORS=1", 'COLOR_STR="blanched almond"']
Default: Undefined
disableConfig : bool |
Whether to exclude nsisconf.nsh.
Generally, you do not need to set this property.
Default: false
enableQbsDefines : bool |
toolchainInstallPath : path |
The NSIS installation directory.
Determined by searching from the known registry keys and known installation paths until a match is found.
This property should not normally need to be changed.
Default: Determined automatically.
version : string |
The NSIS version. Consists of four numbers separated by dots. For example, "2.46.0.0".
Default: Undefined
versionBuild : int |
The fourth NSIS version number component.
Default: versionParts[3]
versionMajor : int |
The NSIS major version.
Default: versionParts[0]
versionMinor : int |
The NSIS minor version.
Default: versionParts[1]
versionParts : list |
The NSIS version as a list.
For example, the NSIS version 2.46.0.0 would correspond to a value of [2, 46, 0, 0].
Default: []
versionPatch : int |
The NSIS patch level.
Default: versionParts[2]
warningLevel : string |
The severity of the warnings to emit. The higher the level, the more warnings will be shown.
The levels none, errors, warnings, info, and all correspond to the NSIS verbosity levels 0 through 4, inclusive. normal corresponds to the default level.
