Hey there,
This is for any of you wanting to distribute your Cabbage VST plugins with the outside world. The result is an installer file which you can distribute to the end user, which will take care of installing a minimal version of Csound, create an uninstaller and manage copying the plugins to the user defined VST directory.
Note: This only works on Windows 64bit and generates a non-standalone version. If you want a standalone plugin, consider installing Cabbage along with the distribution. Although, in this case, you wouldnât need to explicitly install a minimal Csound distro since Cabbage ships with one. I took Roryâs advice in using NSIS for this.
