Adding ID to setup
Hi!

I have setup on server.
If someone try to download this setup my script will adds a random number (ID) to the tnd of this file (for example - to the end of the file).

During installation I need to place this ID into registry or into file - where my installed program can find this ID and use for web links: Home page:
http://www.fgroupsoft.com/?ID=MyID

Can I do it with NSIS?
How?

Yes, you can do it with NSIS. Use FileWrite, RegWriteStr or WriteINIStr.

Ok.
But how I can access to this ID?
Is there a variable or function to get this string from setup.exe?

You can read it from the setup file using FileRead. To get the path to setup.exe use this FAQ item.
