Copying and empty directory
In my script I am attempting to do the following:

SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
File /r ..\..\config
File /r ..\..\data


The problem is that the "config" directory is an empty directory, so the compilation of my .nsi script is failing saying that it couldn't find any files (or something of that nature).

How can I copy an empty directory? As an alternative, how do I create a new directory?

Thanks,

Kennedy

File /r ..\..\config
wouldn't create a "config" directory on the target machine anyway. I don't think NSIS supports "copying" an empty directory, but you can use CreateDirectory, and possibly add the "/nonfatal" switch to your File command if you don't know before compiling whether the directory will be empty.

The CreateDirectory command works for me. Thanks for the help
