Make Downloading from Internet.

I want NSIS to install programs from Internet by downloadin' 'em. But how can I do that?

for example I want to download ICQ. What I must to write in NSIS to download ICQ?

Use Inet::Load (it's a separately downloadable plugin/module for NSIS).
From which you can download files/applications from remote locations via HTTP/FTP, after which, if you wanted to you could execute/install them, provided the local user has privileges 🙂

there is a plugin that comes with NSIS also. NSISdl

thx

You can use the NSISdl or NSISdlSmooth Plugin.

IF you want to user the NSISdlSmooth Plugin,you must download it first,and copy it to the directory "${NSISDIR}\Plugins".

See here:


Example:

Section INSTALL
NSISdlSmooth:😁ownload "http://media.winamp.com/main/images/logo.gif" "$INSTDIR\Winamp.gif"
SectionEnd
