+**Falcon 4 Theater NSIS Installer** by PMC
 The NSIS installer is quite nice as its free to download and very light weight, its script based so you can tweak the installer to do pretty much anything you want. Sure the script at first looks pretty intimidating, but dont let that scare you, we have the wiki to help you out.
