Does NSIS support Windows NT Shares?

I check the NSIS Help, this forum, and some googling and the best I got was this:

CopyFiles
Useful with $EXEDIR if you want to copy from installation media, or to copy from one place to another on the system.
So my question is, does something support copying from a remote share on Windows NT?

CopyFiles just calls one of the windows shell functions to do its work, so, yeah, I would guess it would be able to copy from a share, if not, you could map it as a drive first

Thanks Anders. That's exactly what I decided to do. Create a share and execute it that way using the net use command.
