==Plugins==
{{Unreferenced section}}
NSIS can be extended with [[Plug-in (computing)|plugins]] that can communicate with the installer. Plugins can be written in any unmanaged programming language capable of building a [[dynamic-link library]] (such as C, C++ or Delphi), and they can be used to perform installation tasks or extend the installer interface. A plugin can be called with a single line of NSIS code.
 
==Generated installer==
{{Unreferenced section}}
The generated installer is a [[Portable Executable]], with the installation files archived within the installer, a 34 KB overhead for the NSIS installer,<ref name=featuresSF>{{cite web|url=http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Features|title=Features|publisher=NSIS}}</ref> and the installation script compiled into executable code. As the installation script is compiled, the script cannot be obtained from the delivered executable without reverse-engineering the binary.
