NSIS Script example to install extension on all browsers (Chrome, FF, IE, Opera, Safari)

Question

i need to package my plugin into an installer so that it can install on all available browsers on the computer.

After browsing many topics, i found a couple of script to single install Chrome or FF script with NSIS that helped a lot, but i really need a full NSIS script that will be able to install the extension for all browsers in a single install.

I'm sure this has been built many times over and if anybody could share a script example i could tweak to my needs, it would be greatly appreciated as i could only find bits and pieces and would like to see how the big picture fits together.

My requirements are quite simple :

• got the files in XPi, CRX.. extension file format

• I need a windows installer (NSIS) to install the extension for each available scripts

• if it could feed from a server, that would be a plus, but not mendatory
• I use Kango framework, so using another solution is not an option for now

Thanks a lot for your help ! UPDATE : I'm still trying to figure it out and can't find much support, keep in mind i cannot use CROSSRider. Please help thanks a lot

No need to reinvent the wheel there. I think you're looking for something like crossrider.com, it's a cross-browser extension platform. Take a look specifically at the "Windows Installer" option on your app settings there - You can choose to bundle your extension with your installation.
