Moving directories in NSIS- Need Help Submitted by Espreon on September 26, 2007 - 4:36pm
Alright I am almost finished with MoinMoin Portable Beta 1 but when I launch it a second time it does not work, because the launcher is not moving the "wiki" folder in Data\settings to App\moinmoin Here is the .nsi:
SkipSplashScreen:
;=== Check for data files
IfFileExists `$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wiki\` MoveSettings
IfFileExists `$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wikiconfig.py` MoveSettings
IfFileExists `$EXEDIR\Data\settings\*.*` MoveSettings
CreateDirectory `$EXEDIR\Data\settings`
MoveSettings:
Rename `$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wiki\` `$EXEDIR\App\moinmoin\`
Rename `$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wikiconfig.py` `$EXEDIR\App\moinmoin\wikiconfig.py`
LaunchNow:
SetOutPath `$EXEDIR\App\moinmoin`
ExecWait `$EXEDIR\App\moinmoin\moin.exe`
;=== Move settings back
Delete `$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wikiconfig.py`
Rename "$EXEDIR\App\moinmoin\wikiconfig.py" "$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wikiconfig.py"
RMDir /r `$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wiki`
Rename "$EXEDIR\App\moinmoin\wiki" "$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wiki"
What is the correct way of using the Rename command to move directories? ( categories: )

Cut out the website line...
In your code and I'll help.
This line, VIAddVersionKey Comments "Allows ${APP} to be run from a removable drive. For additional details, visit ${WEBSITE}"

No I mean here silly.
The pre-formatted code you posted, you screwed up the page.

Here you are moving from
Here you are moving from \settings\wiki\ to \moinmoin\ -
Here you are moving from \moinmoin\wiki\ to \settings\wiki\, but your source dir does not exist.
Rename "$EXEDIR\App\moinmoin\wiki" "$EXEDIR\Data\settings\wiki"Also note that the Rename operation will fail if the destination file\folder exists (per NSIS documentation).
