Special Option

Could someone help me, 🙄

because i want that at the end of the (my) setup/instalation. The instalation places a copy of the instalation file in a specific folder.

I hope you guys know what i mean, because my english is very bad. 😢

You can process $CMDLINE to get the installer name and then use CopyFiles to copy it to $INSTDIR.

I just needed this on a installer I made, and here's the modification to the GetParameters function I found in the NSIS archive.

You have to call this function before copying the file, and the name of the installer is saved in the $2 variable.

Function GetParameters
  Push $R0
  Push $R1
  Push $R2
  StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE 1
  StrCpy $R1 '"'
  StrCpy $R2 1
  StrCmp $R0 '"' loop
    StrCpy $R1 ' ' ; we're scanning for a space instead of a quote
  loop:
    StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE 1 $R2
    StrCmp $R0 $R1 loop2
    StrCmp $R0 "\" "" "nofile"
      IntOp $2 $R2 + 1
    nofile:
    ;MessageBox MB_OK "r0: $R0"
    StrCmp $R0 "" loop2
    IntOp $R2 $R2 + 1
    Goto loop
  loop2:
    IntOp $R0 $R2 - $2
    IntOp $R0 $R0 - 4
    ;MessageBox MB_OK "$R2 - $2 = $R0"
    StrCpy $2 $CMDLINE $R0 $2 ; we save the filename
    ;MessageBox MB_OK "$2"
  loop2b:
    IntOp $R2 $R2 + 1
    StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE 1 $R2
    ;MessageBox MB_OK "rr0: $R0"
    StrCmp $R0 " " loop2b
  StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE "" $R2
  Pop $R2
  Pop $R1
  Exch $R0
FunctionEnd 

I think that function can be made smaller.

This works.

Usage:
Call GetEXEName
Pop $R0 ;full installer exe file name

Function GetEXEName

Push $R0

Push $R1

Push $R2

 StrCpy $R0 $CMDLINE -2

 StrLen $R2 $R0

 IntOp $R2 $R2 - 1

 StrCpy $R0 $R0 "" -$R2

 StrCpy $R2 0

Loop:

 IntOp $R2 $R2 - 1

 StrCpy $R1 $R0 1 $R2

 StrCmp $R1 "" Exit

 StrCmp $R1 "\" 0 Loop

 IntOp $R2 $R2 + 1

 StrCpy $R0 $R0 "" $R2

Exit:

Pop $R2

Pop $R1

Exch $R0

FunctionEnd

Thanx

Thanx, it helped me a lot. 😉

And special thanx to Deliverator who wrote a tutorial for me!

I'll add this onto the NSIS Archive.
