Confused Newbie
Hey all,

I've just started using NSIS, and I'm a little confused about including install files. When I use the file command, where do I put the original location of the file and the destination directory? Also, I have a lot (bout 300) image files that I need to put into one directory. Is there any way to install an entire directory, including the files inside?

Thanks for your help,
Dave

SetOutPath controls the destination dir.
Put all images in a subdir "Images" and do:
SetOutPath $INSTDIR\Images (or where you would like to put them)
File Images\*.* (wildcards available!)

So the argument of File is right behind it.

BTW, welcome to the Forum :).
