my moving target......
Hey all,
I'm new to NSIS, so this may be a basic problem, but any help or advice would be much appreciated. In short I'm developing for a non-profit group a software add-on that would (using NSIS) install itself into the program directory of previously loaded commercial software for some satellite communication stuff. Basically the commercial software installs to c:\Program Files\Company Name\RANDOM\Content. The "RANDOM" folder is a name that isn't quite random, nonetheless it has significant variation based upon the installation version of the software -- my add-on needs to work on all versions. This name, depending upon the version, can be quite different (ie: it's not as simple as version1, version2, etc.). Normally, I'd have NSIS just look in the registry for the path name to have my add-on placed in the same directory, unfortunately the commercial software doesn't seem to create a registry item, for whatever reason, when installed. Is there a way, using wildcards, or a list of all possible names for the "RANDOM" folder, to have NSIS discover what that dang folder is actually called? This would then be part of the correct install directory.
Once again thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Enlil
