Making single executable includes all program file and folders with nsis?

I have zip file containing my installation files. I'm extracting this zip and copying these files into installation directory with the script shown below:

ZipDLL::extractall "$OUTDIR\demo.zip" "C:\myapp\demo\"

if I remove zip file from $OUTDIR than installer is not able to find zip file as expected. What I want to do is embedding this zip or its extracted folders into exe itself. I added 

File -r "$OUTDIR/demo"

but this script didn't worked as well.

  • When you use the ZipDll plugin, you are referring to the file you want to process (demo.zip) by using its place at run time: along the installer.exe.
  • When you use the File statement to embed some files into the produced installer, you need to refer to the files by using their place at compile time.

Replace the $OUTDIR in the File statement by the path relative to the .nsi script.

BTW, you should take the habit to check at the compilation log, NSIS probably tells you about that kind of problem when paths are incorrect at compile-time.
