nOOb question :/
  Okay... I've done the difficult part... now for some file-extracting issues... :/

Installing...

>C:Archivos de programaMSN Messenger

Extract: msgslang.dll

Translated!

>Execute: C:Archivos de programaMSN Messengermsnmsgr.exe

Completed 

>

Everything seems OK, but it never copies the file msgslang.dll where it should be :/

the script code is:

Name "MSN6-Spanish"

>AllowRootDirInstall false

OutFile "MSN6-spanish.exe"

>Caption "Traducción al Español del MSN 6 (BETA)"

>ShowInstDetails show

InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\MSN Messenger"


>Section "Main"

 MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION|MB_DEFBUTTON1 "¿Desea instalar la actualización al español 


del MSN Messenger 6 (BETA)?" IDNO cancelar

  

>## Instalamos el pack en español...


 DetailPrint "Instalando traducción..."  


  ## Matamos el proceso del MSN Messenger

 KillProcDLL::KillProc "msnmsgr.exe"

  DetailPrint $R0


  ## Descomprimimos el archivo...

  DetailPrint $INSTDIR

  File "msgslang.dll"

 DetailPrint "Traducido!"


  ## Volvemos a cargar el MSN Messenger...

 Exec $INSTDIRmsnmsgr.exe


>## Si no quiere instalarlo, no lo hacemos...

>cancelar:


>SectionEnd

Wow, spanish! Try this dude:

...
InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\MSN Messenger"
...
...
Exec $INSTDIR\msnmsgr.exe
...

You need the \ in the path.

The problem is that

File "msgslang.dll" stores the file in C:\ instead of $INSTDIR

I've corrected the $INSTDIR\msnmsgr.exe bit, that wasn't the problem...

Monki, are you in the emulespana.net forums?? :P

Edit: Latest code:

Name "MSN6-Spanish"

>AllowRootDirInstall false

OutFile "MSN6-spanish.exe"

>Caption "Traducción al Español del MSN 6 (BETA)"

>ShowInstDetails show

InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\\MSN Messenger"


>Section "Main"

 MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION|MB_DEFBUTTON1 "¿Desea instalar la actualización al español del MSN Messenger 6 (BETA)?" IDNO cancelar

  

>## Instalamos el pack en español...


 DetailPrint "Instalando traducción..."  


  ## Matamos el proceso del MSN Messenger

 KillProcDLL::KillProc "msnmsgr.exe"

  DetailPrint $R0


  ## Descomprimimos el archivo...

  DetailPrint $INSTDIR

  File "msgslang.dll"

 DetailPrint "Traducido!"  


  ## Volvemos a cargar el MSN Messenger...

 Exec $INSTDIR  msnmsgr.exe  ##Displayed bad because the php label


 goto +3


>## Si no quiere instalarlo, no lo hacemos...

>cancelar:

 DetailPrint "Instalación abortada..."


>SectionEnd

See the goto +3 right at the end of section.
That only needs to be goto +2, as it skips commands only, not labels or jump-to's.

The reason why it is dumping File "msgslang.dll" to "C:\" is because you have not told it to go elsewhere.
Use:
File /oname=$INSTDIR\msgslang.dll "msgslang.dll"


And you should use:
Exec $INSTDIR\msnmsgr.exe

Thanks for the /oname switch... it means Output Name doesn't it?

The Exec is $INSTDIR\msnmsgr.exe, but I don't know why in the php tags it isnt displayed (even I escaped it :S)

It works perfectly now, I'm finishing the documentation for my DLL... where shall I upload it??

The Archive although you need admin rights to upload files. I'm assuming Afrow UK was refering to some other site for hosting your dll since he/she doesn't have admin rights at the Archive.

[edit]Actually seeing as you've made 20 pages at the Archive I might just end up giving you admin rights anyway Afrow UK ! :)[/edit]

If you send me the DLL and a readme in a zip I'll upload it to the Archive for you. It will then be listed on the downloads page there with the other NSIS dlls.

Lobo Lunar, it's done already, I'm making a automatic-useless-user-proof installer for it... :)

You can get my DLL HERE

Or reach my Home Page where you can get the translation packed with NSIS using the DLL I've just created :) (and the source for the .DLL ;) )
