Simple question
  I have a massive program (19,000+ files) that I am writing an installer for. There are obviously many sub directories and so on. Is there a simple script or function that I can use intead of listing each file individually?

I think you're getting mixed with compile time and run time. You want to include (compress) all files in a single folder recursively on compile?

Just use:
File /r "some_local_dir\*.*"

I O geeze, I thought that a and r had something to do with read and archive. I didn't read it close enough, thanks.

Hello there
I am kind of on the same boat,
The problem is that I am a total newbie to NSIS
I need to get all the files I have in their original dir structure to be copied to Install_Dir\{original structure}

But I am really messed up right now.

Can you help me with that?

Cërf.

Just use:

SetOutPath $INSTDIR
File /r "local_folder"

Notice no *.* after it.

Thanks!!!
I knew it had to be very simple, now, is there a way of perform something like that with the delete command? since I don't see /r in the documentation.

Again THANKS!

Cërf.

Once I get this running I think I'm going to write a NSIS 101 tutorial so begginers like me don't have a hard time looking for simple stuff.
