So, the idea is to have an NSP that copies both an NRO to sdmc:/switch and another NSP which installs a fowarder for that nro. Is this possible to not only bundle them together but to chain the installs (i.e. nsp1 gets copied over dbi, installs and copies the nro, triggers the nested nsp to install as well and installs the forwarder)? I know it's a shot in the dark, but I'm trying to keep the number of items I need to transfer to a minimum.

Thanks, I'll give it a spin!

Yeah, didn't really pull off what I needed; it converted the NRO to an NSP installer, but then put the forwarder in it's own NSP as well. I'm looking for more of a nested approach; one nsp that contains the forwarder nsp and the content NRO, copies the NRO to specific directory and executes the forwarder NSP to install it to the home screen.

That's not how it works.

NSP is just an archive like zip or rar. It doesn't have any info where it should unpack files. That's decided by tool that unpacks it.
