applications available at http://nirsoft.net.
nirsoft_installer looks in the directory where nirsoft_installer.exe is for
any files it needs before attempting to download them. If it does download a
file, it will attempt to save a copy of the file in this same directory.

C:\Program Files\NirSoft) to your PATH environment variable.
If the program is a Windows GUI application, an icon is created in the

Nirsoft Installer 1.20
Something is wrong (backward). When choosing a custom installation and Unicode (XP, 2003, etc.), the Windows 98 programs are checked for download, and vice versa.
Some new programs not included, like ProcessActivityView and RegFromApp. Will they be added?
Dubiaku
Thank you for the feedback. I have incorporated all of your fixes into the 1.21 release.
