nsExec issues
Running on 2k/XP I'm having no problems, but 9x I only get errors. I am aware of the 8.3 path issue but that isn't the problem. Not even test.nsi in the contrib\nsExec folder works. This had previously worked. I updated my CVS for the first time in a while and now it is broke.

When I reinstall NSIS back to b3 it works fine.

nsExec::Exec '"Path" parms'
Stack has "error" on top. Error means it couldn't execute the file. BTW if you need latest CVS compiled at 8192 or higher let me know. I'll upload makensis zipped.

Thanks,
What is the full nsExec cmd path you are applying?

Read the test.nsi file.
I also tried:
SetOutPath $TEMP
nsExec::Exec 'mybat.bat'

SetOutPath $TEMP
nsExec::Exec '"$TEMP\mybat.bat" parms'

And about 16hours worth of other permutations and combination all with and without /CMD preceding the path section to no avail. EXEC, ExecToStack, and ExecToLog or whatever all fail as well.

Perhaps I didn't actually answer your question now that I reread it. C:\windows\temp

Confirmed. If Ramon doesn't answer I'll try to fix it myself.
