Adding files after exe created (NSIS)

42
Hi!
I'm using NSIS to build an installer and would like to be able to add configuration files AFTER the executable is created. That is, so that I can build and use the same installer (the same executable), but depending on who it's for I would like to be able to open up the exe and add a couple of files. (As opposed to building several different intaller exe:s).

Does anyone know if this is even possible, and if so, how?

I've tried opening the exe in 7-zip, and it works to edit individual files in the exe that way, but adding new files (a new directory) seems like it's not supported.

I've also tried TotalCommander (totalcmd.net), but doesn't get a new directory into the exe that way either..

Any thoughts?
