Execute Command-Line Command from NSIS

Question

I\'m creating my first NSI script and I\'m just wondering if I can execute a command-line command from NSIS or should I just execute a batch file? I don\'t really know where to

Answer 1

Try using exec command http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html:

4.9.1.2 Exec

command

Execute the specified program and continue immediately. Note that the file specified must exist on the target system, not the compiling system. $OUTDIR is used for the working directory. The error flag is set if the process could not be launched. Note, if the command could have spaces, you should put it in quotes to delimit it from parameters. e.g.: Exec '"$INSTDIR\command.exe" parameters'. If you don't put it in quotes it will not work on Windows 9x with or without parameters.

Exec '"$INSTDIR\someprogram.exe"'
Exec '"$INSTDIR\someprogram.exe" some parameters'
