NSISdl::download not working
What am I doing wrong? I keep getting the following error:

Invalid command: NSISdl::download
Error in script "C:\Data\Installers\Baseball.nsi" on line 101 -- aborting creation process

The code I am using is:

!define Baseball "http://download.xyz.com/baseball.exe"
NSISdl::download ${Baseball} "$INSTDIR\Baseball.exe"
Exec "$INSTDIR\Baseball.exe"

Please help!

Try the following:

NSISdl::download "${Baseball}" "$INSTDIR\Baseball.exe"

I confirm this. Is possible modified source code to escape this?

Try reinstalling the plugin - failing that, try an NSIS reinstall.

This is a false-positive we already discussed, as confirmed by this.

You should reinstall NSIS and use LiveUpdate from Norton to get the latest virus definitions.

This time not Norton, but McAfee.

Oh man! I should read your posts first... :)

But anyways, if you download NSIS from nsis.sf.net, I don't think the developer of a project like this would like to crush your computer. So I think that message from nsis.sf.net would apply to you too, except that someone should contact them about this problem.

Norton, Sophos, McAfee... How many more Anti-Virus applications will copy these virus definitions to others?

Hello McAfee users,

It states right on the McAfee Customer Support Knowledge Base page that the virus definition files 4388, are incorrectly identifying nsisdl.dll as being a virus. They also state that this has been addressed in the 4389 definitions. However, they haven't released the 4389 definitions as of yet.
