stringContains function ?
I want to see if the $EXEDIR string contains the $INTERNET_CACHE string.

Is there some kind of 'string contains' function out there?

been a while since I last used NSIS, so I am a bit rusty

There's StrStr which is in the NSIS documentation under Useful Scripts.

this came up with nada
I'm sure it is something stupid...
anyone know how it should be amended ?

or, is there a better way to check if your exe is located somewhere in the internet cache...

Push $EXEDIR
Push $INTERNET_CACHE
Call StrStr
Pop $R0
MESSAGEBOX MB_OK "$R0"

$R0 will be "" if $INTERNET_CACHE is not in $EXEDIR

thanks :) that makes sense...and it works now

Is there a reason why the below would not copy the file to the desktop ?
InCacheFolder: is running...just not copying
Does it have something to do with the exe [when downloaded] being run from its current location ?


Function AreWeInTheInternetCacheFolder
Push $EXEDIR ;string to search IN
Push $INTERNET_CACHE ;search string
Call StrStr
Pop $R0
strcmp $R0 "" NotInCacheFolder InCacheFolder

InCacheFolder:
;copy exe to the desktop
CopyFiles /SILENT "$EXEDIR\${FILETITLE}.exe" "$DESKTOP\${FILETITLE}.exe"

goto done

NotInInternetCacheFolder:
; do nothing and move on
done:
FunctionEnd

so, can you copy the install exe while it is executing with copyFiles ?
or, do I need to redownload/extract it if necessary

many thanks
