Has anyone implemented Inno Download Plugin in their script? I'm looking to implement it be able to offer redist. packages like Nvidia's PhysX (for titles such as the first two "Metro" titles and some Ubisoft titles) to the end-user, whilst avoiding having to include the executable itself (since some are still 35MB+ after packing them!) and instead fetching a download link. If anyone could show me their implementation I'd very much appreciate any insight anyone could offer!

As I remember this plugin didn't work with most of the links (I could be wrong).
I recommend using DwinsHs (Downloader for Inno Setup).
DwinsHs already has an example script.
I use DwinsHs code in DiskSpan GUI to download plugins and it works great.

This definitely looks easier to implement! Thanks a bunch for linking this. However looking at my problem after a good nights sleep (I'm always far too tired writing out any questions here I swear), I think I'll just use powershell to download the file, since running the installer requires elevated privileges already (also means a lot less work wrangling this plugin). One day though I'll probably migrate to using an actual plugin instead of a series of scripts.
