===Script===

The NSIS compiler program ''makensis'' compiles scripts like the following example into executable installation programs. Each line in the script contains a single command.

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="nsis">

# Example script

Name "Example1"

Line 95:

SetOutPath $INSTDIR

File ..\makensis.exe

SectionEnd</sourcesyntaxhighlight>

===Modern user interface===

Version 2.0 introduced a new optional streamlined graphical user interface called ''Modern UI'' (MUI). The MUI has a wizard-like interface. It supports a welcome page, finish page, language selection dialog, description area for components, and greater customization options than the old user interface.

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="nsis">

# Modern UI example script

!include MUI.nsh

Line 116:

SetOutPath $INSTDIR

File ..\makensis.exe

Since NSIS version 2.30 (Released on 25 August 2007) there is new version (beta) of this UI accessible: Modern UI 2 (MUI2) which is an enhancement to Modern UI. Unlike the old MUI this version is based on nsDialogs instead of old-fashioned InstallOptions .ini files.
