Hi,
I'm new to NSIS so sorry if this seems like a stupid question. Is it possible to request a file from the internet as part of the setup? All I need to do is trigger the file which is a script on my server that logs how many times my app has been installed. I don't need to save the contents of this file anywhere and it should ignore the step if it fails or if the user isn't connected to the internet.
Is anything like this possible with NSIS?
Is it possible to load a file from the internet?

yes, using nsisdl for example.. See:
That downloads a file to a temporary location, which gets cleared up once the installer exits (or you can delete the file yourself immediately afterrward).
Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.
