Passing a !define value to a $0

Ok...
I'm trying to detect 15 files in the $SYSDIR...

I make this function:

Function FileSearch

ifFileExists $SYSDIR\$0 yay

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION "No file here"

yay:

FunctionEnd

then, I have 15 !define's like this:

!define File1 "bla.dll"

To use'em in .onInit like this

Push ${File1}

Call FileSearch

It doesn't detect the file (The file is there), I think because the "Push" is not "Pushing" 🤪 ....

any ideas, please.... Thanks !!! 😉

You have forgot to Pop the value from the stack into $0 in the function.

dark_boy, the e-mail I have sent you failed. Please let me know how to contact you about the docs.

Thanks KichiK, it works 😛 .... then, let me share this to all the
nsis users that they have to search for installed files (a lot of them):

!define FileDude "bla.dll"

!define FileSr "dummy.dll"



Function FindFile

Pop $9

ifFileExists $SYSDIR\$9 yay

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION "$9 is not in this machine"

yay:

FunctionEnd



Function .onInit

Push ${FileDude}

Call FindFile

Push ${FileSr}

Call FindFile

FunctionEnd

About the mail: send it again, I change the email address... if not I post it here, ok?

The problem with your function is that it doesn't abort the installation... What I would do is:

!macro checkFile FILE
IfFileExists "$INSTDIR\${FILE}" +2
  StrCpy $0 "$0, ${FILE}"
!macroend
Function .onInit
!insertmacro checkFile "bla.dll"
!insertmacro checkFile "dummy.dll"
StrCmp $0 "" +3
  MessageBox "Error! Can't find $0."
  Abort
FunctionEnd 

This way it will abort the installation and won't pop a seperate message box for every missing file but one message box with them all.

PM me your e-mail address, that would be best.

Well, in my case... the installer search for a file, if is not the
in the machine, the installer has a section that the end-user can
download the file.... (Can't get the installer automatically
select that section 🙁)
But great code, KichiK.... 😛

Maybe I'm crazy (I'm sorry, I AM crazy!), but I tought that the last n threads were about the programmatically selection and deselection of sections.

This thread mentioned this archive page.
