Rename a file
Hi all,

I am trying to rename a file when a special radio button is clicked. Buut nothing happens and no error occurs.

I tried like this:

Function MyCustomLeave

   !insertmacro INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $R1 "licInfoDlg.ini" "Settings" "State"
   ReadINIStr $2 "licinfodlg.ini" "Field 3" "State"
    
  ${If} $R1 == 2 # Field 1.
   Rename $INSTDIR\bin\filename_old.dll $INSTDIR\bin\filename_new.dll
   strcpy $lic_type "Demoversion"
    Abort
  ${EndIf}
  ${If} $R1 == 3 # Field 1.
   Rename $INSTDIR\bin\filename_old.dll $INSTDIR\bin\filename_new.dll
   strcpy $lic_type "Seriennummer"
    Abort
  ${EndIf}
    ${If} $R1 == 6 # Field 1.
   Rename $INSTDIR\bin\filename_old_2.dll $INSTDIR\bin\filename_new_2.dll
    strcpy $lic_type "Lizensserver"
    Abort
  ${EndIf}

FunctionEnd

Can someone tell me what is going wrong or another possibility to change the name?

Like I said in your other topic, use !insertmacro INSTALLOPTIONS_READ not ReadINIStr. Please stop creating new topics.

In the other topic I did not ask not for renaming a file. Its another subject. Therefore I created this seperate topic. How can I rename files with INSTALLOPTIONS_READ????

The problem here has nothing to do with your Rename instructions. It's because you are using ReadINIStr without a full INI file path thus not getting any value from your INI file. Hence why I am telling you the same solution as in all your other topics.
