Retry as defualt action on extract

My question is something similar to the question posted here..

how to ignore when file is currently used - Winamp & Shoutcast Forums

http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=182018

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

Actually im doing a silent installtion, and i want to retry if some thing fails. Im planning to write the function in loop, before that i just want to know, if some thing is avalailabe as an option.

I want to retry if File fails because the destination is in use.

somebody help.

If retry would be the default action, it'll retry constantly. There should be a limit and that can only be achieved in the script. Use SetOverwrite try and check the error flag.

Even if the overwritemode is on, im able to get the error. But rt now im mannually doing a error check and looping for retry

is there any other way

No, because if retry was the default action, it could get into an infinite loop.
