.net - Accessing properties between calls using NSIS CLR.dll -

i writing installer using nsis needs parse block of json.

to achieve hoping able call .net dll parse json , in nsis script call properties on class retrieve data need.

however, appears nsis clr.dll has problem state of class not maintained between calls.

my test .net class follows:

namespace nsistestdll {     public class testclass     {         private bool _configured;          public void configure()         {             _configured = true;         }           public string name         {                         {                 if (_configured)                 {                     return "john doe";                 }                 return "unconfigured";             }         }      } } 

and part of nsis script calls is:

file "nsistestdll.dll" clr::call /nounload "nsistestdll.dll" "nsistestdll.testclass" "configure" 0  clr::call /nounload "nsistestdll.dll" "nsistestdll.testclass" get_name 0 pop $0   messagebox mb_ok $0 

the messagebox shows "unconfigured" rather expected "john doe".

reading forum on clr.dll creater of plugin mention problem.

does know of workaround this?

one thing thinking of doing writing wrapper in c++ , using system.dll instead can pass needed values directly nsis script variables.

the other alternative parse json every property need retrieve, json small enough wouldn't impact performance badly.

in call clr::call /nounload ... /nounload applies clr dll (the plugin) clr plugin have invent/support it's own parameter if needed keep nsistestdll loaded
