Stop shipping EXEs! Make a real Windows Installer for your Python App!
In this short video, you will learn how to quickly create a simple Windows installer for Python apps that you have converted into executable .exe files using PyInstaller.
We use NSI-Designer to generate the installer script for the free and open source Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS).
📌Why this video
When developing Python applications, you often face the problem that end users are not technically experienced enough to install Python or work with the command line. PyInstaller helps by converting your app into an .exe file, but this still does not provide a proper installation or uninstallation process.
Things get even more complicated when you need to set registry entries or environment variables.
NSIS from Nullsoft can handle almost any installation procedure, but writing NSIS scripts takes time and requires learning the scripting language. Most developers want to focus on building their applications, not becoming packaging experts.
NSI-Designer solves this by taking care of most of the work for you, allowing you to create simple to advanced installers (including uninstallers) with ease.
What you will learn:
» How to use NSI-Designer
» How to create installers for PyInstaller apps
» How to implement installation logic without manual scripting
