Download more than one file with installer.ini

How can I download more than one file with the installer.ini?

I came across with another issue in the installer.ini
I download an example.zip it contains the following structure example123/example.exe.
How can I extract the example.exe to App/example?
If I use
AdvancedExtract1To=App/example
AdvancedExtract1Filter=example123/example.exe

the result is:
App/example/example123/example.exe instead of App/example/example.exe

One File Only

The online installer functionality only supports downloading a single file.

As for extraction, have you tried it with this?

AdvancedExtract1Filter=example.exe

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Ok I understand

Will there be something like [DownloadFilesN] ?

If I use your suggestion, there is nothing in App/example. Actually there are folders and files I want to extract.

Move Yourself

In that case, you'll need to move the files yourself using custom code in the installer.

DownloadFilesN is currently not planned. We don't recommend live installers except when absolutely necessary for licensing purposes. We highly recommend getting permission to package freeware for an app for official release and may not otherwise approve it.

Thanks anyway!

I think I switch to offline installers and ask for permission. Even though it would be easier if the authors would respond....

P.S. Did you get the Q-Dir update 5.96.6?
