How to copy a file to two dirs on the destination

Hello

I have some files that I need to install to more than one subdirectory in the installation target directory. How can I do this with out including the files more than once in the installation package?

Thanks

See 4.9.3.2 CopyFiles in NSIS documentation.
e.g.
Section
.....
SetOutPath '$INSTDIR\some_folder'
File 'myfile.ext'
CopyFiles '$INSTDIR\some_folder\myfile.ext' '$INSTDIR\some_other_folder\myfile.ext'

But even if you add the same file more than once, it'd not increase the installer size, if this is the matter.
e.g.

code:
Section 

SetOutPath '$INSTDIR'

file 'my_file.ext'



SetOutPath '$INSTDIR\other_dir'

file 'my_file.ext'

SectionEnd

Installer would be the same size like when file added only once.
