Network Problems

Afrow UK · 16th August 2003, 17:59

I decided to remake my Network Chat program with latest NSIS (b4) now that I have a lot more PC's than before.
I have re-written the whole program to allow for infinate clients, plus made up my own dialogs with Resource Hacker.

Now, the problem is that WriteINIStr, FileOpen, etc in NSIS 2.0b4 do not seem to work if the path is a Network path.

My Host PC network path is \\New-pc\drive-c, but when trying to create a file on that path, the Error flag is set.

With 2.0b3 this wasn't a problem.

Have you tried the "AllowRootDirInstall true". I think this might fix your problem.
