The nsis script itself basically is:
Page directory
Page instfiles

Name "TeX Live Manager Update NNNNNN"
OutFile "update-tlmgr-NNNNNN.exe"
InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\texlive\2008"

RequestExecutionLevel "user"

DirText "Setup will update the TeX Live Manager of your TeX Live installation in the following folder. \
 To install in a different folder, click Browse and select another folder. \
 Click Install to start the update."

Function .onInit
  SearchPath $0 tlmgr.bat
  ${GetParent} $0 $1
  ${GetParent} $1 $0
  ${GetParent} $0 $1
  ;MessageBox MB_OK "tlmgr=$1"
  StrCpy $INSTDIR $1
  ;SetOutPath $1
FunctionEnd

Function .onVerifyInstDir
  IfFileExists $INSTDIR\tlpkg\texlive.tlpdb PathGood
    Abort
  PathGood:
FunctionEnd

Section "MainGroup"
  #SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
  #File /r tlupdates\*.*
----------------------------

And that creates the .exe update-tlmgr-latest.exe

Much more can be done .... but I never checked that.

Best wishes

Norbert

The combination of little helpful grunts, nodding movements of the
head, considerate smiles, upward frowns and serious pauses that a
group of people join in making in trying to elicit the next
pronouncement of somebody with a dreadful stutter.
