How do i get the installer to copy a folder if selected...

Says an error with the line:
File "plugin"

And how do i get the installer to run a batch file lets say during installation or after....

Because i have something to add to registary..

a) Copy a folder if the user selected? 😕 Do you mean copy files from user's folder selection?

b) You use nsis native registry functions to add those entries. If you wish not, then you should call Exec instruction to invoke regedit with silent switch /s.

I am making it install to a folder, i want a whole folder to be copyed or a folder to be made in the installation folder then each file to be copied there...

what u said doesnt make much sence, i started learning today...

So how would i call the file: server.reg

or if need be call a batch file... so .bat

Afrow UKMay 25, 2007 at 2:02 PM#

File /r

The run of the file is not working....

Afrow UKMay 25, 2007 at 4:11 PM#

What exactly happens? Please be more specific.

Stu

XxXGoDMay 25, 2007 at 5:05 PM#

Nothing happens, i know when the registry file has been done... cos i can load game and see if server added

EDIT: i got it working now i used:

Function .onInstSuccess
Exec server.bat
FunctionEnd

Red WineMay 25, 2007 at 5:44 PM#

Exec Server.bat brings up the console window which might look kinda weird, recommended to use nsExec for an unattended by the end user batch execution.

XxXGoDMay 25, 2007 at 6:04 PM#

Hmm okay.

Its all working good now, BUT

with: File "Game.exe"

if i allready have that file in there it doesnt overright i dont think... how can i tell if it does?

Red WineMay 25, 2007 at 6:08 PM#

Assuming that the file isn't in use SetOverWrite on should do the job as expected.

XxXGoDMay 25, 2007 at 6:32 PM#

Where/how do i place that??

XxXGoDMay 25, 2007 at 7:55 PM#

SO is this correct?

SetOverwrite on
File "Game.exe"
File "D2Gdi.dll"
File "D2gfx.dll"
File "D2Glide.dll"

will it make them all set to overwrite..

kichikMay 25, 2007 at 8:08 PM#

`SetOverwrite on` is the default, so there's no need to use it, unless you use SetOverwrite in another place.

As for making it overwrite, yes it will. Just try and see.

XxXGoDMay 25, 2007 at 9:12 PM#

Ok, well With the compoent page...

it shows the compent but when i hover mouse over them doesnt show the info on it...

Section "C3PO"

SetOutPath $INSTDIR\C3PO

other than that problem its damn good now, thanks guys

See the Modern UI examples for how to add descriptions.
