I think I've found the reason causing some troubles with installing MS
runtimes, see:

http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=379253

------------------------------------------------------------
I think I've narrowed down the issue a little bit more:

in the nsis-script [1] there's the section [2] with the optional download of
these gzipped and tared files which, after unzpping and untaring, should be
copied to C:\Program Files\myprogram\subfolder.

this section calls [3] the function [4] which download [5] and unzip/untar
[6] the archive and then copies some files [7].

now for more testing, I've added some copying commands as the first action
of the nsis-installer:

    code:	;test copy files

    	CreateDirectory "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

    	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.dll" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

    	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.txt" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

    	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.exe" "$INSTALL_DIR\extrabin"

    	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.dll" "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\copiedf"

    	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.txt" "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\copiedf"

    	CopyFiles "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\*.exe" "C:\wd\checkdllnsis\copiedf"



and all of these test files are copied.

as summary, CopyFiles doesn't seem to work, if the command is nested in a
function called in a section; but CopyFiles works, if it is in the main nsis
script and not nested in function.

intended behaviour? bug? ... should this be reported anywhere?

------------------------------------------------------------

the solution will may be to cut download and install of the MS runtimes in
two different actions by the nsis-winGRASS-installer.
