'FileNotFoundError: fbs could not find executable 'makensis'. Please install NSIS and add its installation directory to your PATH envir onment variable

I wanted to create an installer for my exe programm (with fbs). Then I saw that I need to install NSIS (Error: FileNotFoundError: fbs could not find executable 'makensis'. Please install NSIS and add its installation directory to your PATH envir onment variable). I did install NSIS. After that, I got the same error. Can somebody help me?

NSIS does not automatically add itself to %Path% when you install it. If fbs cannot detect NSIS then I suppose you have to manually update the path variable yourself.

Try to install "HM NIS Edit", you can choose your makensis.exe following NSIS -> Configuration.
