CopyFiles silent without DosBox?

Hi,

every time I use "CopyFiles" a DosBox appears. due to the fact that I use this function several times that happens very often and looks really poor.

So my question is: is there a way to perform that operation silently without that DosBox?

What? You mean the windows command prompt window pops up when you use CopyFiles in NSIS? That isn't normal. What operating system are you using?

But try if the /SILENT flag works

CopyFiles /SILENT $INSTDIR\*.dat $INSTDIR\backup

That happens on Windows 2000 and XP, I havent tried 9x yet.

When I use /SILENT the behavior changes somehow - without it a window opened and closed immediately, so that I could see them flash. Using this option they stay open for a longer time but don't block so that I can see several overlapping windows for some seconds.

Are you sure that it's CopyFiles causing the window to appear?
If it's appearing on both 2000 and XP then there's definately something else here. Why am I so confident that that is the fact? Well, I've never seen this before, nor heard of it.

Yeah sounds really wierd. Could you post the script file here?

Also, attach a screenshot if you can.

Screenshot? Funny...how should I catch that window that appears for less than a second?

Well... yes... but you could attach the script?

I'd put my money on a bad shell extension. Hijack This should help finding out which one.
