yes, a system call is made with the 'system' plugin on the NSIS platform
very powerful way of controlling a pc...as I use it to do all sorts of
things
like get the user name:
System::Call "advapi32::GetUserName(t .r0, *i ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}
r1)i.r2"
DetailPrint "User name - $0"
this is great news, as I can include/call it within my NSIS app ...
The way my app works, it extracts everything [including dll's, xml
fies, the QT movie itself , database calls] into a self-deleting
directory ......
Having a QT specific dll may really open the doors....
will do some homework
the hope is that I can use it to flag debugstr and bring it into my
NSIS app for processing....
progress :)

what do you mean when you say "system call"?
My Question to another mailing list:
Is it possible to target functions in another running application with
the system plugin ?
there's no such thing called "system plugin"
I need to call the 'mcActionShowMessageString' function in QuickTime's
API. Then, I need to bring the string into NSIS for processing.
NSIS?
mcXX are Movie Controller commands (constants), so you can use
MCDoAction command if I remember the name well
The Answer from that mailing list:
If they are exported, you can call them using the System plug-in. Use
'Dependency Walker' to find out which functions are exported.
If I understand correctly, you need to get "QTMLCliend.DLL" from the
QuickTime SDK. It exports most or all of the QuickTime API calls in
"cdecl" (C) calling convention
for those familiar with QT on Windows, does QT have any 'exported'
functions that can be called/accessed ?
yep, QTMLClient.dll is for Delphi etc. clients that can't use the C
headers and libraries directly. Instead they load that DLL and they
call into the procs it exports
