NSISdl::download problem
Hi there again.

Is there a way i can execute an other program (say every 5 seconds) while the installer is downloading?

An other option would be to somehow push the progress-data to a txtfile every few seconds. but i don't know how to handle it :(

Any ideas?

Customize NSISdl or run an external application.

running an external exec is not the most beautiful way, but i think it's the only option for a non-programmer like me :)

Thanx

Well... I don't think so...
Since the installer is focus downloading the file.
In the case you'll have to use a loop and sleep functions.
