Network Path truncated

Hello,

I've created, with NSIS, an installation which create a shortcut on the user's desktop : the target of this shortcut is on an hidden network path like this

\\mypath\myfolder$\myscript.bat

And when i look at the build log i can see my path which is truncated to

\\mypath\myfolderyscript.bat

Regards

Double that dollar, it needs to be escaped.

\\mypath\myfolder$$\myscript.bat

I try to double this letter but, there is an error

1 warning:

  unknown variable/constant "

ecup_cube.bat" detected, ignoring (D:\Outils\Script NSIS\Recup.nsi:35)

Here is the syntax for my shortcut :



  CreateShortCut "Recup_cube.lnk" "\\myserveur\myshare$$\myscript.bat"

That comes from another line in the script, probably with the same kind of error. That line doesn't contain "ecup_cube.bat".

Sorry for the mistake, here is the correct code:



CreateShortCut "Recup_cube.lnk" "\\myserveur\myshare$$\myscript.bat"

and then my shortcut is truncated to \\myserveur\myshareyscript.bat

Still the incorrect line, but I see what's going on. Use this instead:

!define share \\myserver\myshare$$

CreateShortcut recup_cube.lnk "${share}\recup_cube.bat"
