beginner question
Hello all,
I'm quite new using NSIS stuffs, I've written the following small install code.
The installer seems to work, but the files are not copied !
I'm "admin" and no errors are reported.
Any help would appreciated !

Are you on a 64bit machine when running this installer?
If so... the output path from a 32bit program, such as NSIS installers, get redirected from "c:\windows\system32" to "c:\windows\SysWow64".. so if you don't change the path in the Directory page, you might want to check there.
If the files aren't in there either, add some MessageBox statements to make sure your code actually gets to the file installation part / add 'ShowInstDetails show' and 'AutoCloseWindow false' near the top of your installer so you can see file extraction happening in the details log window.
I was testing on my Vista labtop, on Windows 7, it runs well !
I don't know what happens on the labtop since "showdetails" was reporting
that stuffs were copied !
Anyway, I can keep on working now.
Thanks.
François
