Can we use a .net dll with NSIS script
Hi,

I am creating a setup using NSIS scirpt, I am getting the License key for an application in a form and then pass this
License key information to a .net dll for validating and getting back the results.

I tried a smaple valdiation program using c++ .dll and it works fine.

But unable to directly use a .net dll.

Can any one help.

Thanks in advance.

You cannot call a .Net dll. You should convert the dll to a command-line executable and execute that with nsExec::ExecToStack or ExecDos::Exec /TOSTACK

Edit: Or call the managed dll from a unmanaged dll (which you can call using the System plug-in) or write an NSIS plug-in (unmanaged dll) to call your managed dll.

Hi. You actually can call a managed C++/CLR DLL. I have just posted a solution to this in the forum here: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=295881
