Showing Network Connections

darkmagex · 17th May 2004, 20:10

I was wondering if it would be possible to pull the current network connections from somewhere and have them displayed in the installer.

I have a program that uses static IP addresses and if I could save a file with the NIC+IP during install it would be helpful.

If you have experience with Windows programming, try to search MSDN for Windows APIs that allow you to retrieve these names. You can call Windows API from NSIS scripts using the System plug-in.
