Does NSIS support Linux and Solaris? I read somewhere that we can compile nsis script on Linux but cant execute the .exe generated on any other platforms but Windows. Can somebody put more light in this?
Portable CompilerThe NSIS compiler can be compiled for POSIX platforms like Linux and *BSD.
NSIS is not available for Mac but there are some alternatives that runs on macOS with similar functionality. The best Mac alternative is IzPack, which is both free and Open Source.
NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a professional open source system to create Windows installers. It is designed to be as small and flexible as possible and is therefore very suitable for internet distribution.
See the NSIS feature list for more information ...
Portable Compiler
The NSIS compiler can be compiled for POSIX platforms like Linux and *BSD. Generated installer will still run on Windows only, but this way they can be generated without Windows or WINE.
