How to add a file to NSIS from different folders

I have already configured and working:

File file1.bat File file2.xml File common.file1.dll File common.file2.dll File common.file3.exe

So that I would like to avoid storing shared files in the source directory, it refers to them from the parent directory as follows:

 File file1.bat File file2.xml File ..\common.file1.dll File ..\common.file2.dll File ..\common.file3.exe

Edit: This really works when I tried it again.

But, apparently, this is not recognized. Is there any way to link to these files?

The file belongs to .nsi and .. \ xyz should work ...

You can define an environment variable that points to the folder where you want to save your dependencies. Then use this var environment in your nsi script.

You can specify separate paths for the output files and paths to the source files for the File command:

 File /oname=$INSTDIR\common.file3.exe ..\common.file3.exe

try adding the following line to the script:

 File file1.bat File file2.xml SetOutpath "<source directory path>" File common.file1.dll File common.file2.dll File common.file3.exe
