Download files during installation

Hi everybody !!! 😛

I love Nsis installer, it's better than Inno...
I'm from Mexico, and I'm a rockie devoloper in Visual Basic 6.0.
Is there any way that the end-user can download files during installation, por example the Visual Basic 6 runtime modules?

Thanks.... if there's any I'd like to help to translate the strings to spanish...

See ya!!!
😉

In the Contrib folder there is a plugin called NSISdl, it downloads files from HTTP servers during installations.

Don't understand... I don't have a c++ compiler

I am sorry, I didn't make my self clear enough.
The plugin itself is in the main directory if you have NSIS 1.98, or in the Plugins sub directory if you have NSIS 2.

To know how to use the plugin, read the readme in Cotrib\NSISdl.

You don't need to worry about the C++ files.

Translating "remaining", "of" and the time is not yet possible. It uses the NSIS text for "Cancel".

An option to translate everything might be added later.
