Copy .exe from a network drive

discipulus81 · 16th June 2007, 16:26

I have only been using NSIS for a week now so I apologize in advance if this is really simple. I am trying to create an installer that will set up new hires at our company with all the software they will need. Basically I need it to create a temp folder, copy other installation programs from a network drive, and execute them. I think I have everything figured out except being able to copy other executables from a network drive. I know that I can include all of these executables in the installation but that seems like it would unnecessarily bloat the installation. Also I saw a reference to a Inetc plugin that handles downloads from the net and ftp sites will this work?

Thanks,

inetc can copy from/to http/ftp servers, but if want copy files from network drive (SMB shared folder) would be better just use runtime CopyFile command and \\comp\share\path\file path form.
