compilation failing due to large temporary files
Hello.

I'm trying to create an installer that is larger than the amount of space I have free on my C drive. I can't compile my script because it fills it up with temporary files and then fails.

Is there any way I can get MakeNSIS to use a directory on another drive for temporary files?


[Edit: Corrected a typo.]

Dunno...what if you tried putting

InitPluginsDir
StrCpy $PLUGINSDIR "D:\temp"

Sorry, that was a stupid idea. It won't work.

Why not compile your installer from another hard drive?

Set your temporary directory to another drive with more free space.

Set your temporary directory to another drive with more free space.

That worked perfectly. Thanks kichik.
