Hi,

I have a very simple line in a complex script.

If Not FileInstall("Thunderbird update.jpg",$ScriptTargetDir,1) Then
    SplashOff()
    MsgBox(0x10,$UpdateID,"Update failed - could not install Thunderbird update.jpg in " & $ScriptTargetDir)
    Exit(0)
EndIf

Every time I try to compile this script I get the message:

 

post-84035-0-10969600-1394301056_thumb.j

But the file Thunderbird update.jpg exists in the same directory as the script. I tried making it a bmp like the example in the help file - no difference. I tried ".Thunderbird update.jpg" and I tried making it "ThunderbirdUpdate.jpg" gettting rid of the space.

The destination file is defined as well.

The error message from SciTE isn't very helpful -

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /ShowGui /in "U:Documents5 GraemeQAupdate2_2_0.au3"

+>17:38:21 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished..
>Exit code: 0    Time: 13.756

Any ideas as to what the problem is would be very appreciated.

Try. but i think will not work why "This must be a literal string; it cannot be a variable or the result of a function call."

@scriptdir & "\Thunderbird update.jpg"

I think if you send full script (PM) i can help more

Edit:

.Thunderbird Update.jpg

instead of

Thunderbird Update.jpg

Macros don't work apart from @ScriptFullPath which adds the current script to the compiled executable. I just tried compiling with SciTE and no error, so the comment about SciTE changing the working directory is false.

Perhaps change the location of where you're compiling, maybe it's your AV?!

Hi guiness,

Tried changing the location, twice - gave the same result. I've tried commenting out that particular fileinstall and it just comes up with a problem on another file. If I comment that out there's another one - all the same problem...

I found the problem! :)

I followed your lead Palestinian and copied the lines into a stand alone program and it worked! No problem. So I commented out each file install that complained, one after the other until I got to the last one! That one was the problem - I had fileinstall("QuickAccess" & $VersionNum & ".exe"..... One might consider this a bug in SciTE that it complains in the wrong place but I've often found programs do that...

Now the program works like a dream.

Thanks for everyone's comments - they helped me get to the solution.

Blessings

Graeme

It's not SciTE that is at fault here, if there is indeed a fault at all.
