write log to network share

roonwhit · 27th January 2006, 04:54

I want to create a log with details of all users who have run the setup file (in-house within corporate network).

This works successfully, when I use
FileOpen $0 "\\a.b.c.com\fullpath\filename" a

If I use
FileOpen $0 "\\a.b.c.com\myshare$$\filename" a

The script is unable to access the file. Note that the share name has an appended $, so I used $$ to include this.

If I copy the two text strings (removing the second $), I can always access the file outside NSIS.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

David

Can probably ignore my original post -- possibly due to file/folder permissions rather than anything in the script, as I can read the file both ways, but ot modify using the share name.
