CopyFiles - rights to copy to C:\Program Files\myprogram\?

in the project there are many files organized in different subfolders (e.g. bin, lib and extrabin) [1] and included in the installer [2].

so 'extrabin', 'bin', 'lib' etc subfolders are there when the many files are installed to c:\Program Files\myprogram.

it could be that the 'extrabin' subfolder isn't ready/created when the extra files are copied by CopyFiles?

will have a look regarding this.

several test done:

[a] folder c:\Program Files\myprogram\extrabin created as one of the first actions taken by the nsis-installer

code:
	;create extrabin folder for ms runtime installation

	CreateDirectory "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

files are not copied to c:\Program Files\myprogram\extrabin

[b] folder c:\Program Files\myprogram\extrabin created as one of the first actions taken by the nsis-installer

code:
	;create extrabin folder for ms runtime installation

	CreateDirectory "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

and explicitly copying files to c:\Program Files\myprogram\extrabin by commands

code:
	CopyFiles "$TEMP\$ORIGINAL_UNTAR_FOLDER\bin\msvcp60.dll" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "$TEMP\$ORIGINAL_UNTAR_FOLDER\bin\msvcp70.dll" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "$TEMP\$ORIGINAL_UNTAR_FOLDER\bin\msvcp71.dll" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "$TEMP\$ORIGINAL_UNTAR_FOLDER\bin\msvcr71.dll" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "$TEMP\$ORIGINAL_UNTAR_FOLDER\bin\msvcrt.dll" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

no files are copied.

any ideas/hints?
