Summary: File /r doesn't work with paths as variables
Initial Comment:
NSIS version 2.20
If it's used the instruction "file /r" with a path
absolute or relative writen as a constant (that is
between '"'), it works propperly but if it's used with
a variable with value the path used previously the
compiler fails, a "no files found" error is sent.
An excerpt of the code I been using and the error it
produces is written next:
StrCpy $COMPONENT_DIR "F:\Utiles\NSIS\pruebas\pru\*.*"
DetailPrint "$COMPONENT_DIR"
#the next line fails
File /r $COMPONENT_DIR
#if discommented the next line works properly
#File /r "F:\Utiles\NSIS\pruebas\pru\*.*"
Error:
File: "$COMPONENT_DIR" -> no files found.
Usage: File [/nonfatal] [/a] ([/r] [/x filespec [...]]
filespec [...] |
/oname=outfile one_file_only)
Error in script
"F:\Utiles\NSIS\pruebas\InstaladorSimple.nsi" on line
25 -- aborting creation process

Of course it doesn't work... Think about it, $COMPONENT_DIR
only gets its value on runtime. The code runs on the user
computer. You can, for example, copy $INSTDIR into
$COMPONENT_DIR. $INSTDIR, as you know, can be changed by the
user. The compiler can't predict what the user will choose.
You probably want to use !define.
!define COMPONENT_DIR F:\Utils\...
File /r "${COMPONENT_DIR}"
