Zojuist is versie 2.25 van de Nullsoft Scriptable Install System uitgekomen. NSIS kan worden gebruikt om op een eenvoudige wijze professioneel uitziende installatiepakketten te creëren. Na het aanmaken van een script creëert het programma vervolgens een compacte installer, waarin bijvoorbeeld ook uninstall-opties kunnen worden meegegeven.
