You can edit usertype.dat file for a bit of syntax highlighting, but it's nicer to use an editor which has support for NSIS files (any Scintilla based editor - SciTE, Notepad++, Notepad2)

1Thanks for the info I already have enough editors on my machine so with only a quick installer required, I really didn't want to load another. I added a bunch of NSIS keywords and it seems to do the job; enough to provide some coloring on syntax. At least I no longer looking at just black and white. Needed to map the .NSI to Visual C++ editing experience in the Tools/Options/Text Editor/File Extension – BlueShepherd Jul 22 '09 at 20:33

@BlueShepherd, do you mind sharing what you added so we can build on that? – strider Apr 10 '14 at 16:38

Haven't tested yet but this probably does the trick: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5e57fe9a-ae5d-4740-a1c3-7a8e278e105b

Tried installing it, might just be my computer but all it did was give null reference exceptions and crash visual studio. – Chris McGrath Apr 19 '12 at 02:47

I couldn't make it run to. It's still beta though. I hope they will make it work as it looks promising. – SiliconMind Apr 19 '12 at 09:20
