Download HM NIS Edit and use the Script Wizard :] That'll do it for you really fast !

Sorry but HM NIS Edit can't install the files in several directories.

For example : I want to copy 2 files in c:\test ant the same files in c:\test2

We had a similar problem for our installer. The solution was to create a custom page allowing the user to specify the directories.

Use can use the NSIS plug-in for Eclipse to do this. It's very good.

Use the SetOutPath function inside a Section to have this file in two places. For example:

Section

  DetailPrint "Section 1"

 SetOutPath "D:\test1"

 File test1.txt

SectionEnd


Section

  DetailPrint "Section 2"

 SetOutPath "D:\test2"

 File test1.txt

SectionEnd

Ok, that's great but ...

... Now I want copy test1.txt in D:\test1 only if D:\test1 exist and test1.txt in D:\test2 only if D:\test2 exist.

thanks

The function IfFileExists
  ... will do what you need.

Look it up in the help index for its parameters.
