node-makensis

A TypeScript wrapper for the NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) compiler, makensis. Current stable version is 3.0.5 (released 2025). Requires Node.js >=18 and NSIS >=3.06. Provides a promise-based API to compile installer scripts, retrieve version/help/license information, and manage compiler options like defines, verbose output, and environment variables. Ships TypeScript types. Supports Deno via JSR. Key differentiator: modern ESM-native library with full TypeScript typings, replacing raw child_process calls with a robust, type-checked interface. Maintained on GitHub, with regular updates and CI.
