FileInstall entire directory

[residualfail]

Hello:

Is there a way I can use either FileInstall or an alternative command to install an entire directory into my executable? I tried the below line but I believe I can only specify a single file at a time with that command.

FileInstall("E:\Apps\scripts\include\*.*", "C:\menuinstall\*.*")

Thanks!

If your line doesn't work, try this:

$hFile = FileFindFirstFile("E:\Apps\scripts\include\*.*")
While 1
    $sFile = FileFindNextFile($hFile)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    FileInstall("E:\Apps\scripts\include\" & $sFile, "C:\menuinstall\" & $sFile)
WEnd
FileClose($hFile)

I didn't tried it. But it's supposed to work.

No that will not work at all. Variables can NOT be used for the source in FileInstall.

You have to specify every file individually.

In that case it's no big deal. If you have that many files that it's so annoying to write them individually, you can write a second script that searches for the files one by one and writes the FileInstall() lines to your script. It can be made.
