File Write Access
Hi!
I want to check if I can write to a file, and if not loop and check again with 500 MS intervall or so, and preferably a timeout thingy.

Can anyone help me, please?

PS: I'm a Newbie

Thanks!

Try something like this:

StrCpy $1 0

loop:
  FileOpen $0 "c:\path\to\file" "w"
  IfErrors 0 done
    IntOp $1 $1 + 1
    IntCmpU $1 50 done 0 done # if we got to 50 or passed it, enough
    Sleep 500 # wait for 500ms
    Goto loop
done:
  FileClose $0
