How to get FQDN using NSIS Script
  Currently we are using "Internet::GetLocalHostIP ${ip_addr}" to get the local host IP and using the IP for registering the application.

But to handle hosts with multiple NIC card, we are planing to use the FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name) instead of the ip address.

Is there any way to get the FQDN of the localhost using NSI script? Any other known workaround?

I believe you want to use the getnameinfo win32 api call for this.

I created a Wiki page for this:

Thanks Zinthose. The wiki was of great help.

I need to use few of the IpConfig plugin APIs(like GetHostName, GetPrimaryDNSSuffix, GetAllNetworkAdaptersIDs, GetEnabledNetworkAdaptersIDs, GetNetworkAdapterIPAddresses etc.). But looks like IpConfig plugin is not working properly(I am trying with windows XP).

Please help.

Looks like you already found the IPConfig Plugin Forum Topic

Listen To MSG he has the answer ;-)
