Copy folders without compressing?
I am very new to NSIS, but I'm grasping the concepts.

I'm trying to create an installer that will copy a folder with 2.5 GB of data. When I use the regular "file /r" command, NSIS compresses this folder's contents into the installer. This would seem okay, but this installer will go on a dual-platform disc, so I need that 2.5 GB to be accessible to a Mac Installer.

Thus, I need a way to have NSIS copy a folder from the installation disc to a destination, rather than NSIS extracting the folder from an archive. How can I do this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

SUPER! But one more part.

On my computer, the disc drive is D. On others, it's E. Can I make a relative path with this command?
