FileWrite
  Hi

I want to write a bat file on my installation and have tried this

FileOpen $9 "${SOURCE}\\bin\\ssShutDown.bat" w

IfErrors 0 NoError

  MessageBox MB_OK "File open error"

  Goto ErrorYay

NoError:

 MessageBox MB_OK "FileOpen"

>ErrorYay:

>DetailPrint $9

FileWrite$9 "C:\\SimFlex-stability\\bin\\KillApps.exe c:\\SimFlex-stability\\bin\\dssShutdown.txt"

>FileWrite $9 "C:\\Program Files\\CNS International\\The InterCom System\\Server\\ICSvrNT.exe /stop"

>FileWrite $9 "C:\\SimFlex-stability\\bin\\KillApps.exe c:\\SimFlex-stability\\bin\\dssShutdown.txt"

>FileWrite $9 "C:\\Program Files\\CNS International\\The InterCom System\\Server\\ICSvrNT.exe /start"

>FileClose $9 

>

But i Allways run in to the File open error.
By the way a actualy wants to write quotes (") in the string How can i do that.

'bla "quote" bla'

Or, if you are using the latest NSIS 2 version:

"bla $\"quote$\" bla"

Aha! I forget the $ so probably no problem at all.
Did not try as my current solution do the job

Yep :D The second solution is useful if you have multiple special characters.
