Deep copy with CopyFiles

Is this possible to deep copy a directory with CopyFiles? I have a large amound of data which I don't like to embed into installer exe with File command, so I use CopyFiles to copy files from DVD to user system.

Thanks,
Mohsen

I could find a similar post which claims CopyFiles is capable of copying folders:
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.


Is this right? I always get "Copy failed" when trying to copy a folder (which has some other folders inside) to a destination.

My mistake! CopyFiles perfectly copies directories recursively. See the related post:
