${varname},${TEMP1} are not variables. These are defines created during compile time. A variable is declared like so.

code:
Var varname

Var TEMP1

Those are variables...

Afrow UK · 15th January 2006, 22:16

Actually !define varname $R0 will work also, but unless you have !defined TEMP1 as a variable just like varname then you will get a compiler error.
${varname} -> $R0

Following code should work. I used state=value for php. You can use MessageBox to check out intermediate results

code:


Section

ReadINIStr $0 "register-ger.ini" "Field 1" "State"

#StrCpy $0 "test string" ; for test

InetLoad::load /post "state=$0" "http://www.mypostserver.com/post.php" "$EXEDIR\post_reply.htm"

Pop $0 # return value = exit code, "OK" means OK 

MessageBox MB_OK "Post Status: $0"

SectionEnd

Server reply should appear in the post_reply.htm.

I still hope to get testing results from developers - after this I plan to replace InetLoad archive page

Thanks for this update, I've been using this for downloading updated files in my devkitPro installer ( http://www.devkitpro.org ) and also the MinGW ( http://www.mingw.org ) installer I've been working on. This one has proved to be much better at connecting to the sourceforge sites on Windows XP sp2 than the previous version.

I do have one question. One user has problems with a proxy that requires him to log in. Are there any environment variables that can be set if the plugin isn't picking up the IE proxy settings? Being honest I'm not 100% sure if IE holds these settings for him, the problem report was fairly minimal.

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.p...orum_id=539405

Thanks for all your hard work

Takhir · 5th March 2006, 11:24

Good question. Both InetLoad/inetc have the same parameters set including [/PROXY IP:PORT] [/USERNAME PROXY_LOGIN /PASSWORD PROXY_PASSWD] (INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY, INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_USERNAME and INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_PASSWORD). But for local proxies user-specific values required (if parameters not come with IE pre-sets). Currently I have not information about env. vars for local proxy settings, but on the proxy error plug-in should return "Proxy Error (407)" string in the Pop, this case we can ask user - display custom dialog for login/password. The simplest way I see is plug-in with auth request for 'in section' usage (I wrote this 5 minutes ago, so test it first

), this may be universal approach - not for InetLoad/inetc only. Finally, if you see specific proxy error in InetLoad exit, ask user and call InetLoad again.
Edited And you should handle installer' silent mode in script by skipping dialog in the silent mode.

Takhir · 12th March 2006, 12:32

I updated InetClient plug-in to use WinInet internal authentication dialog for server and proxy auth. request. Tonight I'll add the same changes to InetLoad.

Win2k Pro SP4, IE 6.0.2800.1106, NSIS 2.16, AMD Sempron 2600

The annoying thing is if I set a breakpoint at the pushstring in the get function and step with the VS debugger then I don't get a crash either :/ Is it perhaps some sort of timing issue?

Takhir · 18th May 2006, 18:34

I improved few suspicious places, but I still cannot reproduce am not sure in the new version, please test.

shaunb · 19th May 2006, 16:51

Might be a silly question,

If I point this at a url of a webscript such as CF in silent mode, will it execute the script silently? e.g if I pointed it to the url

http://localhost/adminAPI/dowork.cfm

it'll just execute the script contents without bringing up a browser window? hmm sounds like it would .. I'll have to give it a try.

thanks

Sorry, still crashes, is there anything I can do with a debugger that might help you?

It looks like it's some sort of stack issue - when it crashes it seems to be executing somewhere random.

Takhir · 24th May 2006, 08:09

I have sent personal message with inetc debug build and comments. Crash still not repeats even on W2K with you configuration. Strange thing - plug-in reports about "Server Error" on W2K and "SendRequest Error" on WinXP.

Takhir · 12th June 2006, 07:12

Inetc update: new /CAPTION TEXT parameter (zeeh3 request). Mainly for RESUME message box header in the "old style" output, i.e. if caption not defined and plug-in uses default and english "InetClient plug-in". As a result /POPUP and /SILENT now go without (caption) parameter, and /BANNER has single one (window body text). This not touchs InetLoad yet, may be later, after some test period, so please read wiki page when download new version. Also may be in the SILENT mode plug-in should not display message above progress bar, but for now I left it as it is.

polygonansigt · 23rd July 2006, 20:50

I am trying to download a list of files, but something fails, i am probably doing something that is not possible :-)

StrCpy $test '"http://testserver.com/files/tmp.exe" "$TEMP\tmp.exe"'

InetLoad::load /popup "test load" $test

This is producing nothing, am i doing something real odd, or is this just impossible. My goal is to be able to build a "list" of files to be downloaded.

StrCpy $test '"http://testserver.com/files/tmp.exe" "$TEMP\tmp.exe" "http://testserver.com/files/tmp2.exe" "$TEMP\tmp2.exe"' :-)

Takhir · 24th July 2006, 07:03

Multiple download sample was tested many times. In your script NSIS might put $test as a single string to stack. Please test "long" command line first (without strcpy) and check exit code.

I didn't realize the way the commandline and the stack worked. You were correct that $test was put onto the stack as a single line. I managed to get it to work by push'ing the data to the stack in a loop and calling InetLoad::load /popup to have it pick up the parameters from the stack. Seems to work like a charm :-) Thanx for pointing me in that direction.

Hi everybody

Is there a way to make the dialog freeze while the download is being made?

Currently, the download uses the proxy settings correctly, but the user is able to press "Back", "Next" and "Cancel" and I don't want it to happen.

Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Afrow UK · 25th July 2006, 17:47

You can disable the buttons yourself with GetDlgItem and EnableWindow:

GetDlgItem $R0 $HWNDPARENT 1
EnableWindow $R0 0
GetDlgItem $R0 $HWNDPARENT 2
EnableWindow $R0 0
GetDlgItem $R0 $HWNDPARENT 3
EnableWindow $R0 0

This will disable all three buttons.

Is the DLL made in .NET ?

Takhir · 25th September 2006, 12:38

Nope, .NET not required. Functions are classic dll entry points (__far __pascal == WINAPI). But you can build project under VS 2005 as well - no difference with VS 6.

rjch_au · 24th October 2006, 06:10

Just got a quick question... I'm using an NSIS installer with the inetload plugin (bloody wonderful plug-in that it is!) to reduce the pain involved in upgrading software on several hundred machines by having the installer download the necessary updates - one of which is the dotNET framework - all 23mb of it. Dialup sites have a bad habit of regularly failing to the point that they can never finish the download in one go.

I'm trying to use the following line of code to silently download (with resume) the update, but in silent mode, resume does not seem to work. It works fine in normal mode, but the problem is that there *isn't* someone watching the machine to click the Retry button.

inetload::load /resume "" /silent "Downloading dotNET framekwork..." /popup "Downloading..." "http://172.25.254.151/appupdates/updatepacks/dotnetsilent_adbox.exe" "$OUTDIR\dotnetsilent_adbox.exe"

Can anyone give me any ideas how I might resolve this problem?

Takhir · 24th October 2006, 07:12

Try to comment line 976 in InetLoad.cpp source code and rebuild project, should be (not tested)

code:


//   if(silent) resume = false;

rjch_au · 24th October 2006, 07:36

Thanks for your quick suggestion Takhir, however I'm now running in to a problem previously posted on the forum that I can't spot a solution for - namely, I'm getting the following compile errors:-

error C2365: 'FtpCommandA' : redefinition; previous definition was a 'function' (@ line 64)
C2659: '=' : overloaded function as left operand (@ line 633)

C++ isn't my specialty - I *can* program, but it's not what I do for a living and for that reason, whenever I need to knock something together I either use NSIS or VB.

Takhir · 24th October 2006, 08:32

Just replace FtpCommand with myFtpCommand, use "whole word" option on replace. It is important for this line:

code:


  myFtpCommand = (FTP_CMD)GetProcAddress(hInstance, "FtpCommandA");

No. Please use 4.9.4.10 IfFileExists jumps to handle the situation.

******** · 14th December 2006, 13:35

That's a pity even though inetc is not a download manager. Still there is another bug not connected with RESUME:

When inetc is called in .onInit installer window is started in background and BringToFront doesn't work afterrwards.

The command used is

PHP Code:


			
inetc::get  "http://www.mingw.org/mingw.ini" "$EXEDIR\\mingw.ini" /END

Takhir · 14th December 2006, 14:16

NSIS BringToFront manual notes this new OSes behaviour. Use /banner or /popup to keep focus.

******** · 14th December 2006, 14:37

I haven't found the instructions. It is said that

Quote:

If an application was executed that shows itself in front of the installer, a BringToFront would bring the installer back in focus.

But AFAICU there is not separate application executed. In fact the inetc command above is meant to be launched with /SILENT key for quick check if there is a newer version of installer available. Maybe it is possible to do something so installer will not lose the focus?

Takhir · 14th December 2006, 15:05

4.9.14.1 BringToFront
...
Recent Windows versions restrict the setting of foreground windows. If the user is working with another application during installation, the user may be notified using a different method."

Finally this means that none of SetForegroundWindow, SetActiveWindow, SetWindowPos can sets window to foreground and give it keyboard focus (now). Taskbar button flashes instead. But Inetc sources include commented sf() function - this worked but was removed later. You need to call this directly from installer, may be using System plug-in.

******** · 14th December 2006, 21:07

Still can't get the logic. Installer does not execute any external programs to lose focus - it merely calls a function from DLL. In addition I do not have any recent windows version (W2K only), so this should work for me, but BringToFront doesn't work after a call to inetc.

Maybe there is a misconception in inetc which tries to operate with some of its windows even with the /SILENT switch - this causes installer to lose focus to these windows and they fail to return it back? Could this be possible?

Takhir · 15th December 2006, 07:01

This is not Inetc related problem, the same (under some conditions) happen with splash windows, banners and even outside NSIS

rjch_au Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 2	Just got a quick question... I'm using an NSIS installer with the inetload plugin (bloody wonderful plug-in that it is!) to reduce the pain involved in upgrading software on several hundred machines by having the installer download the necessary updates - one of which is the dotNET framework - all 23mb of it. Dialup sites have a bad habit of regularly failing to the point that they can never finish the download in one go. I'm trying to use the following line of code to silently download (with resume) the update, but in silent mode, resume does not seem to work. It works fine in normal mode, but the problem is that there isn't someone watching the machine to click the Retry button. inetload::load /resume "" /silent "Downloading dotNET framekwork..." /popup "Downloading..." "http://172.25.254.151/appupdates/updatepacks/dotnetsilent_adbox.exe" "$OUTDIR\dotnetsilent_adbox.exe" Can anyone give me any ideas how I might resolve this problem?

Still there is another bug not connected with RESUME: When inetc is called in .onInit installer window is started in background and BringToFront doesn't work afterrwards. The command used is PHP Code: `inetc::get "http://www.mingw.org/mingw.ini" "$EXEDIR\\mingw.ini" /END`

If the user is working with another application during installation, the user may be notified using a different method." Finally this means that none of SetForegroundWindow, SetActiveWindow, SetWindowPos can sets window to foreground and give it keyboard focus (now). Taskbar button flashes instead. But Inetc sources include commented sf() function - this worked but was removed later. You need to call this directly from installer, may be using System plug-in.

******** Junior Member Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 43	Still can't get the logic. Installer does not execute any external programs to lose focus - it merely calls a function from DLL. In addition I do not have any recent windows version (W2K only), so this should work for me, but BringToFront doesn't work after a call to inetc. Maybe there is a misconception in inetc which tries to operate with some of its windows even with the /SILENT switch - this causes installer to lose focus to these windows and they fail to return it back? Could this be possible?
