On some computers the antivirus while the installation files are being copied blocks the file and the installer throws the error "Error opening file for writing filename.extension" is there any way to solve this? That before launching the exception to the user, try again? If the user clicks retry it works, but I want to avoid it to the user.
My Nsis code to include files.
File /r /x *.tlb "${MyPath}"
No, there no is way to work around this when using /r or wildcards with File.
In theory you could wrap single File commands in a macro that first calls FileOpen in a loop but there is no way to know how many retries you would need and if you need a Sleep etc.
Anti-Virus software is supposed to be transparent to normal applications. The best way to deal with this is to file a bug report with the vendor and to publicly name-and-shame them.
