Application Sub-Folders

As a first time user to NSIS I'm having some difficulty understanding how to install an application across several sub-folders and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have to verify that a particular folder exists and copy a file into that folder. So far so good. Then I must create a folder in an existing sub-folder of the original folder and copy several files into it, then register one of the files.

I cannot depend on the original folder being in the same physical path on different machines, but if it's not where it should be a simple prompt to the user, to select the right folder will suffice.

Regards,

Fred Chateau

This is quite simple ... You can place registry information like the Install Directory or other things like that. What you could also do is create a .INI file that NSIS can read from and then it could place the files you want to install where the user first installed.

Hope this helps,
