Special Option
  Could someone help me, :rolleyes:

because i want that at the end of the (my) setup/instalation. The instalation places a copy of the instalation file in a specific folder.

I hope you guys know what i mean, because my english is very bad. :cry:

You can process $CMDLINE to get the installer name and then use CopyFiles to copy it to $INSTDIR.

I just needed this on a installer I made, and here's the modification to the GetParameters function I found in the NSIS archive.

You have to call this function before copying the file, and the name of the installer is saved in the $2 variable.

GetParameters

  Push $R0

  Push $R1

  Push $R2

  StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE 1

  StrCpy $R1 '"'

  StrCpy $R2 1

  StrCmp $R0'"' loop

    StrCpy $R1' ' ; were scanning for a space instead of a quote

  loop:

    StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE 1 $R2

    StrCmp $R0 $R1 loop2

    StrCmp $R0"\" "" "nofile"

      IntOp $2 $R2 + 1

    nofile:

    ;MessageBox MB_OK "r0: $R0"

    StrCmp $R0 "" loop2

    IntOp $R2 $R2 + 1

    Goto loop

  loop2:

    IntOp $R0 $R2 - $2

    IntOp $R0 $R0 - 4

    ;MessageBox MB_OK "$R2 - $2 = $R0"

    StrCpy $2 $CMDLINE $R0 $2 ; we save the filename

    ;MessageBox MB_OK "$2"

  loop2b:

    IntOp $R2 $R2 + 1

    StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE 1 $R2

    ;MessageBox MB_OK "rr0: $R0"

    StrCmp $R0 " " loop2b

  StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE "" $R2

  Pop $R2

  Pop $R1

  Exch $R0

FunctionEnd

I think that function can be made smaller.

This works.

Usage:
Call GetEXEName
Pop $R0 ;full installer exe file name

Function GetEXEName
Push $R0
Push $R1
Push $R2
 StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE -2
 StrLen $R2 $R0
 IntOp $R2 $R2 - 1
 StrCpy $R0 $R0 "" -$R2
 StrCpy $R2 0
Loop:
 IntOp $R2 $R2 - 1
 StrCpy $R1 $R0 1 $R2
 StrCmp $R1 "" Exit
 StrCmp $R1 "\" 0 Loop
 IntOp $R2 $R2 + 1
 StrCpy $R0 $R0 "" $R2
Exit:
Pop $R2
Pop $R1
Exch $R0
FunctionEnd
