ISX Download DLL usage

Quoting from the help file,
"ISX Download DLL is a "plugin" for ISX that allows you to download
files from the Internet during the installation process. "

The help file gives no concrete example of using even one of the
functions in INNO. Has anybody used this that could post an example
here for us to study?

Also, can this be used inside a compiled VDB app to allow downloading
and installing updates on the fly?

Thanks

making it, you are, by definition, inadequate to debug it.

Hi,

you can downloading this on Bjornar Henden homepage...

Download DLL
Add downloads to your setup project

Link: http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/downloads

Download Filename: isxdl-5.1.0.0.exe

This "isxdl.dll" DLL File can be included inside the script and calling via
Pascal code.

After installing in default folder of this exe file (<program
files>\DownloadDLL folder there are two ISS (InnoSourceScript) files for
start with this...

1. File called >> isxdl.iss

this can be in own script via this line
#Include "<Folder>\isxdl.iss"
implemented on top of own scriptings...

2. File called >> demo1.iss

See also here the top line for including point 1.

Hope this helped for starting.... when not ask here...

Jonny,

That's what I needed to get going. Now the experimenting begins.
Thanks for your prompt reply and kind help.
