koresho Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I would love to throw a few files into my main executable for distribution, I just can't seem to figure how to use FileInstall(). I have about 600MB worth of programs that need to be included with my script for it to work properly. Right now I have the script on the root, and the programs in @ScriptDir & "\Tools\" and they are handled by executing a self-extracting RAR archive. However if I could bundle it all in the script using FileInstall() and then call the files out that would be awesome. If that is too much data, I have a couple little batch files I would like to include in the script at least. Any suggestions, maybe a step by step on how to do it? I read the help file but I must be dumb; I can't get it to work. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerros Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) I've been working with this one as well, and the problem that I ran into is that you need to create the directory before trying to install anything. failing Example: CODE $return = FileInstall("C:\7za\7z.exe", "C:\7za\") If $return = 0 Then MsgBox(0, "file install error 1", "Unable to install 7z.exe") Exit EndIf Successful Example CODE DirCreate("c:\7za") $return = FileInstall("C:\7za\7z.exe", "C:\7za\") If $return = 0 Then MsgBox(0, "file install error 1", "Unable to install 7z.exe") Exit EndIf Edited November 2, 2007 by Kerros Kerros===============================================================How to learn scripting: Figure out enough to be dangerous, then ask for assistance.

BigDod Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Simple answer: Yes, but I would have to program it for every damn file, i cant do it for folders or anything right?Zip the files into a self extracting exe, fileinstall it and then run it to create the folder structure.

antonioj84 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) "Fileinstall " explanation can be tricky this was the clearest info so far, that page did it for me. fileInstall("C:\original\file\location\on\hard\drive\written\out\completely.exe", @scriptdir & "\bin\completely.exe",1) once i had the basic working , i was able to use relative path. The key is to use "dirCreate". i know it;s old however still relevant. Global $sDestination='c:\Installers\EpsonJavaPosAdk\' DirCreate($sDestination) FileInstall(".\DataStorage\copyfile2.exe", $sDestination& "copyfile2.exe", 1);===> Modify this path copyfile2.exe ;~DataStorage is a folder within my script directory where the files i want to copy are located Edited May 14, 2017 by antonioj84 error santoshM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
