Problem with files

[dailison]

Hello,

I need to use that command

CopyFiles "$INSTDIR\Json.dll" $INSTDIR\"Newtonsoft.Json.dll"

But it not work, because the name "Newtonsoft.Json.dll" have to dots "."

How i can make that?

Your quotes are wrong in that example.

CopyFiles "$INSTDIR\Json.dll" "$INSTDIR\Newtonsoft.Json.dll"

Example2 Not Work

Section
InitPluginsDir
CopyFiles "$ExePath" "$PluginsDir\Newtonsoft.Json.dll"
MessageBox mb_ok "Check $PluginsDir"
SectionEnd

works fine for me on Windows 8.

Anyway, CopyFiles uses SHFileOperation internally and it is possible that Windows is being "helpful" here. Which Windows version are you using?

You can try CopyFiles with a simple name and then use the Rename instruction to set the final name. Rename does not use the shell so there should be fewer name restrictions.
