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

yes, the source path is correct.

I think I've narrowed down the issue a little bit more:

in the nsis-script [1] there's the section [2] with the optional download of these gzipped and tared files which, after unzpping and untaring, should be copied to C:\Program Files\myprogram\subfolder.

this section calls [3] the function [4] which download [5] and unzip/untar [6] the archive and then copies some files [7].

now for more testing, I've added some copying commands as the first action of the nsis-installer:

code:
	;test copy files

	CreateDirectory "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.dll" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.txt" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.exe" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.dll" "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\copiedf"

	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.txt" "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\copiedf"

	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.exe" "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\copiedf"

and all of these test files are copied.

as summary, CopyFiles doesn't seem to work, if the command is nested in a function called in a section; but CopyFiles works, if it is in the main nsis script and not nested in function.

intended behaviour? bug? ... should this be reported anywhere?
