Downloading has nothing to do with a user interface. The code is identical, see the NSISdl examples.

the code doesnt work anymore ... but It used to


StrCpy $2 "$PROGRAMFILES\a-S Codec Pack\120104\MatrixMixer030B.exe"
NSISdl::download http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/source...ixer_0_30b.exe $2
Pop $0

What's wrong about this ?

If it doesn't exist it won't download the file and return an error.

I know but what I wanted is this


   
    Banner::show /NOUNLOAD "Connecting to Server"
        again:
                IntOp $0 $0 + 1
                Sleep 1
                StrCmp $0 2000 0 again

download... iets !

StrCpy $2 "$PROGRAMFILES\mplayerc.exe"
NSISdl::download http://www.subaru.demon.nl/mplayercME9895/mplayerc.exe $2
Pop $0

        Banner::destroy

and if that file exists then it would display a messegebox and say .. do you really want to download?

It's easier to ask before downloading. If you really want to know whether a file exists and don't want to download it immidiately you will have to modify the plug-in source.
