NSISdl bug?

glory_man · 17th March 2005, 15:00

I tried using NSISdl for downloading file.
This my code:

code:


StrCpy $dir "F:\test"

NSISdl::download "http://strim-tech.com/vcom.zip" "$dir\vcom.zip"



Pop $temp

StrCmp $temp "success" okk

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP "Download failed: $temp"

Quit

okk:

ExecShell "open" '"$dir\vcom.zip"'

When I include it in the section all work.
Then I try put it in mui_page_customfunction_pre of next (finish) page (or _leave for instfiles page). If I move installer window or minimize it -> application become "Not ressponding".

Is this bug?

This is limitation

NSISdl attempts to create additional progress bar on the dialog, this is not possible on the 'pre' step, do this in the 'show' page function. And if plug-in is attached to dialog installer cannot destroy current dialog and go to next one ('leave' function). You cannot use NSISdl in the .onInit function - installer not created any windows yet. InetLoad in the /popup /banner or /silent mode should work between pages and in .onInit func.

But both plug-ins return when download finished or error occured (/nounload not helps, separate thread in the plug-in for IO only), so in the /silent mode this looks like 'no responce'.
