Pass !define to nsexec cmd.exe

I actually tried that first and did not seem to work. I guess I should have stated that as well. I might have typed something wrong and did not notice it. I will setup another test and see. Thanks.

You don't need to copy it to a variable, just do ...\Desktop\${File_Name}"' /f /s

I was able to figure it out, thanks.

I am using the define due to me using it under
Name
OutFile

!define File_Name "test.exe"
Var /Global APPNAME

Function .onInit
    StrCpy $APPNAME ${File_Name}
    nsExec::Exec '"$sysdir\cmd.exe" /c if 1==1 del "%userprofile%\Desktop\$APPNAME"' /f /s
FunctionEnd

You need to learn the difference between a $variable and a ${define}.

Is is possible to pass from nsis to cmd.exe?

I can manually type it in but it will change everytime its compiled again.

!define File_Name "test.exe"

Function .onInit
    nsExec::Exec '"$sysdir\cmd.exe" /c if 1==1 del "%userprofile%\Desktop\$File_Name"' /f /s
FunctionEnd
