Sorry man, but you really need to read the NSIS documentation.

While I'm sure your system call will probably work (I don't really know windows progrramming), there's a much easier way in NSIS.

CopyFiles "$EXEDIR\App\GnuCash\orbitfix\2k\*.*" "$EXEDIR\App\GnuCash\bin"

That's it Eye-wink

The documentation does not say. Try it and find out! If in doubt, you can always delete the destination files\dir first.

Seriously though, the NSIS documentation is very good for commands a command syntax and will answer a lot of your quesitons much faster than I can. Check it out, link from your start menu.
