I am newbie to nsis installer. I would like to detect the country of the user(via ip) and then depending on the country want to do some actions. I searched in nsis plugins directory but I found only a plugin to detect the ip.
How can I get the country code via ip in nsis ?
Thank you
Detecting country from IP means you need:
Internet connection
A way to determine the external IP (not counting proxies?)
Access to a IP/Geo database
Why not use the Windows configuration on the local machine:
!include LogicLib.nsh
!define LOCALE_SCOUNTRY 6 ; Localized
!define LOCALE_SENGCOUNTRY 4098
!define LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE 0x00001001
!define GEOCLASS_NATION 16
!define GEOID_NOT_AVAILABLE -1
!define GEO_ISO2 4
!define GEO_ISO3 5
Section
System::Call 'KERNEL32::GetUserDefaultLangID()i.r0'
DetailPrint LANGID=$0
System::Call 'KERNEL32::GetLocaleInfo(i$0,i${LOCALE_SENGCOUNTRY},t.r1,i1000)'
DetailPrint LOCALE_SENGCOUNTRY=$1
System::Call 'KERNEL32::GetLocaleInfo(i$0,i${LOCALE_SCOUNTRY},t.r1,i1000)'

System::Call 'KERNEL32::GetUserGeoID(i${GEOCLASS_NATION})i.r0'
DetailPrint GEOID=$0
${If} $0 <> ${GEOID_NOT_AVAILABLE} ; Only available if the user has set a country/location
${AndIf} $0 != "error" ; GetUserGeoID is WinXP+
System::Call 'KERNEL32::GetGeoInfo(i$0,i${GEO_ISO2},t.r1,i1000,i0)'
DetailPrint GEO_ISO2=$1
System::Call 'KERNEL32::GetGeoInfo(i$0,i${GEO_ISO3},t.r1,i1000,i0)'
DetailPrint GEO_ISO3=$1

I removed info for available space but the install button is still disabled when there is no enough space for the installation itself. I want to make "install" button always enabled. I tried this but with no success:
Function .onInit
Call enableInstallBtn
FunctionEnd
Function enableInstallBtn
GetDlgItem $0 $hWndParent 1 ; Get button handle
EnableWindow $0 1
FunctionEnd
.onInit is executed before the UI exists. The documentation tells you to set dirverify to leave:
RequestExecutionLevel User
InstallDir $temp
!include MUI2.nsh
!include LogicLib.nsh
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VERIFYONLEAVE
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_LEAVE verifydir

Trying to use an NSI script that works with 2.46 Unicode, in the new version 3, this line:
!insertmacro UAC_AsUser_ExecShell '' '$INSTDIR\test.exe' '--openbrowser' '' SW_SHOWNORMAL

How to use the UAC plug-in with NSIS 3?
Using UAC plug-in v0.2.4c (20150526) from the wiki I can't reproduce your error with a simple clone of UAC_Basic.nsi in NSIS v3.01:

!define S_NAME "UAC minimal test ${NSIS_PACKEDVERSION}"

Digging an old thread:
I had the same problem, the UAC plugin on wiki has a small change compared to the version I was using with NSIS 2.x.
That small change fixed the issue
I want to pin shortcut to taskbar in windows 10. Script works fine but my utily is detected as malware trojan. Microsoft has removed the verb and this could be the reason for the same. So is there any alternative way to pin/unpin any program programatically.
OutFile "C:\PinUnpinExe\PinUnpinShortcut.exe"
!include 'StdUtils.nsh'
!include FileFunc.nsh
SilentInstall silent
RequestExecutionLevel user ;no elevation needed
ShowInstDetails hide
var inputParam
Section
${GetParameters} $inputParam
System::Call "kernel32::GetCurrentDirectory(i ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}, t .r0)"
${StdUtils.InvokeShellVerb} $0 "$0" "abc.exe" $inputParam
SectionEnd
This line is detected as virus.
${StdUtils.InvokeShellVerb} $0 "$0" "abc.exe" $inputParam
I'm ok with the other language solutions too.
Don't programmatically pin shortcuts, the taskbar is a place for users to put their favorite icons!
To unpin you can do this (NSIS 3+):
!include "LogicLib.nsh"
!include "Win\COM.nsh"
!macro UnpinShortcut lnkpath
Push $0
Push $1
!insertmacro ComHlpr_CreateInProcInstance ${CLSID_StartMenuPin} ${IID_IStartMenuPinnedList} r0 ""
${If} $0 P<> 0
System::Call 'SHELL32::SHCreateItemFromParsingName(ws, p0, g "${IID_IShellItem}", *p0r1)' "${lnkpath}"
${If} $1 P<> 0
${IStartMenuPinnedList::RemoveFromList} $0 '(r1)'
${IUnknown::Release} $1 ""
${EndIf}
${IUnknown::Release} $0 ""
${EndIf}
Pop $1

I have a NSIS script with two components to uninstall. If the user unchecks both components in the "Choose components" page, the Uninstall button is still active, and the uninstall process can continue without actually uninstalling anything. Is there any easy way to disable the "Uninstall" button if no component is selected?
The code for selecting the uninstaller section is the following:
# Macro for selecting uninstaller sections
!macro SELECT_UNSECTION SECTION_NAME UNSECTION_ID
Push $R0
ReadRegStr $R0 HKLM "${REGKEY}\Components" "${SECTION_NAME}"
StrCmp $R0 1 0 next${UNSECTION_ID}
!insertmacro SelectSection "${UNSECTION_ID}"
GoTo done${UNSECTION_ID}
next${UNSECTION_ID}:
!insertmacro UnselectSection "${UNSECTION_ID}"
done${UNSECTION_ID}:
Pop $R0
!macroend
Thanks in advance!

I want to create a dual installer for an application, which either installs it as portable or normal version.
For the portable version, I don't want to require admin rights. For the normal version, I need admin rights for adding the application to the start menu and other things.
Is there a way to prompt the user for admin rights when starting the actual installation? Maybe with a plug-in? I'm looking for something like RequestExecutionLevel admin inside a section.
RequestExecutionLevel highest will force members of the administrator group to elevate while normal users can run it with no UAC interaction. This example does not elevate for you because doing that is tricky, UAC is broken in certain scenarios and it would require more code to do it correctly...
RequestExecutionLevel highest
