How can I get NSIS to install and execute files from a temp directory?

Question

I\'m using the following NSIS script:

Name \"My app wrapper\"
Outfile \"MyAppSetup.exe\"
InstallDir $TEMP\\MyApp\\Install
Function .onInit
SetSilent silent
Funct         


        

Answer 1

This is another way to do it

Function .onInit

    InitPluginsDir
        File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\test.exe "test.exe"

FunctionEnd

Section "Exec file" SecFile

    nsExec::Exec $PLUGINSDIR\test.exe

SectionEnd

Answer 2

Section
InitPluginsDir
SetOutPath "$pluginsdir\MyApp\Install" ;It is better to put stuff in $pluginsdir, $temp is shared

File installer.msi
File setup.exe

ExecWait '"$pluginsdir\MyApp\Install\setup.exe"' ;You should always use full paths and proper quotes

SetOutPath $exedir ;Change current dir so $temp and $pluginsdir is not locked by our open handle
SectionEnd

Answer 3

I don't know if it would solve your problem but I would write :

Exec $TEMP\MyApp\Instal\setup.exe

Are you sure that $TEMP is pointing to C:/Temp? Did you check it?
