- Issue
- When the NSISdl plugin must download a file, and there is no internet connection, the target file gets deleted if it already exists.
- Cause
- NSISdl deletes the target file if an error occurs, to prevent leaving any corrupted files.
- Solution
- Use the Dialer plugin to check the internet connection.
- Recommendation
- You should download the file to a temporary directory (such as $PLUGINSDIR or $TEMP), and as soon as you've made sure that you've got the right file, and there were no errors, then you should copy it to its destination.
