Copy file over conditionally - nsis

Question

I am trying to do the following in my NSIS script. I do not know NSIS, and I was just handed down a task to tweak something. The idea: if this is window8 take some .exe files from a different location to deploy onto the target machine:
So I start with getting the version:
ReadRegStr $WINVER HKLM \
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" CurrentVersion
in the list of files to install I do this:
;List of files to install
File file1.exe
File file2.exe
${If} StrCmp $WINVER '6.2'
File .\otherlocationSource\file1.exe
File .\otherlocationSource\file2.exe
${EndIf}
I'm getting an NSIS script compile error on the ${if}... line.
I'd appreciate any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong.

Answer 1

The ${If} macro uses StrCmp internally, the syntax is ${If} $WINVER == "6.2" but you really should use WinVer.nsh to do the version check. (You can grab the version values from SVN if your local copy does not support Win8)
And for a version check like this, unless it is Win8 specific you should have logic similar to "if $major > 6 or ($major == 6 and $minor >= 2)" so it also works on Win9 etc
