Changing connection name
Hi!

I have created a setup that along with my custom software, installs tap-win32 driver.
I want to run following command to change the default name given to the connection:

netsh interface set interface name = "Local Area Connection 112" newname = "My Connection"
This is the command that we use to run on the dos prompt.

How can I run this command while installation ie thru installation script.

Regards
Saurabh

You could use Exec to run this command.

If you wish the installation to halt while the command runs you'd rather use ExecWait.

Take a look in the documentation for more information on how to use Exec and ExecWait.

Might be better to use one of DOS plug-ins, nsExec (included to NSIS package, program files\nsis\contrib\nsexec) or ExecDos This allow to hide dos window, but stops installer execution till dos process exits.
