Hi
How can I insert into my setup.exe files?
For example MyProgram.exe + Firebird.exe + MyDB.dbf
Thanks in advance!
Insert into setup
6 posts
simple answer:
File "Firebird.exe"
File /r "My folder" ; to include folder
"File" command includes the files into the NSIS executable
File "Firebird.exe"
File /r "My folder" ; to include folder
"File" command includes the files into the NSIS executable
Ok, but I want to use only one file, for examle setup.exe
and then run installation of my program + firebird.exe + mydb.dbf
or it is wrong way?
and which way is right?

"File" only includes your file into the .exe
Put "Exec" or "ExecWait" in your nsis script pointing your included file.
* In your NSIS script :
Section -Main
SetOutPath $INSTDIR
File "thunderbird.exe" ; include the file
...
SectionEnd
Section -post
Exec "$INSTDIR\thunderbird.exe" ; execute the file
...
SectionEnd

Thanks very mach!!!
I have to say, while this is a very newbie question, finding the answer is completely not obvious, especially since copying files is the core functionality of an installer. NSIS documentation should make file operations easier to find.
