What is a .NSL file?
An NSL file is a type of text file that uses the nsLanguage (nsL), which is a high-level programming language. This language is specifically designed for creating installation wizards with the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS). NSIS is a tool that software developers use to build the setup programs that install software applications on a Windows operating system.
The content of an NSL file includes nsL code, which is the set of instructions written in nsLanguage. These instructions are used to design and construct the installer for a software application. This means that when you write nsL code and save it as an NSL file, you are essentially writing the script or blueprint for how an application should be installed on a computer.
To open and work with an NSL file, you can use specific software programs that understand and can process nsL code. One such program is File Viewer Plus, which is available for download from the Microsoft Store. Another program specifically designed for working with NSL files is the nsL Assembler for NSIS. This tool helps in compiling the nsL code into a format that NSIS can use to create the actual installer executable. These programs allow you to view, edit, and compile NSL files into functional installers for software applications.
