nsi script file compiled successfully but no installer package is created

Here is sample code
When I try to compile this code it compile successfully, but didn't produce installation package.

Same scipt I have tested with the uncommenting line "File test.txt" and commenting copy test folder line and it produce installer package.

Can someone help what is wrong here. Can I debug/get more detail logs to resolve this issue.

Here is compilation log ----

But you can set it to something else with OutFile.

So my requirement is to copy a directory and its subdirectories. which have many files.
Also the same issue I am facing, when I try to download file from internet. It compiles successfully but no output. I can not understand what is the issue.

Section "test (required)"
SectionIn RO
SetOutPath $INSTDIR
NSISdl::download "https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.2-bin.zip" $0
SectionEnd

1 nsisdl does not support https, use inetc.

2 $0 is the destination are you are not initializing it.

In my case most of the functions (zip, copy folder, download file) compiling successfully but no output. (Means installer package not getting created.). Here are few functions.


INetC::get /SILENT "https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.2-bin.zip"
ZipDLL::extractall "test.zip" "$INSTDIR"
nsisunz::Unzip "$PLUGINSDIR\Document.zip" "$INSTDIR"
File /nonfatal /a /r "test\"

If there is any error, Nsis compiler should return it. Can someone please help here what is going on. Why there is no output file, even after successfully compilation.

I further search about the issue and found it is related to ANSI and Unicode. Most of plugin support ANSI, thats why i am facing the issue. Does anyone know solution for this.

That inetc call is clearly wrong, go read its documentation and look at their examples.

Saying it compiles successfully but has no output does not make sense to me.
