johnyV Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi there, I'm trying to use the Filecopy command in Windows 7. The script runs well in W-XP, but not in W-7. Here it is: FileCopy("\\.....\....\...\Font\CGTR45W.TTF", "C:\Windows\Fonts") When I copy and paste the file in manually its actually an install. Should I be using fileinstall? Either way, its not working. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotkbliss Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Being as it is windows 7 and windows folder, you may need to use admin rights to copy the file to that location. #requireadmin or search admin in the help file. 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!

FileInstall("\\$computername$\c$\Windows\Fonts\CGTR45W.TTF", "C:\Windows\Fonts\CGTR45W.TTF", 0) what am I missing here? help. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyV Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 OK so I want to use the FileInstall function but I'm not sure how it works. I have a *.TTF file and I want to put it in C:\windows\fonts, but in order for it to work I also need it to install. For this I would imagine the FileInstall command would be appropriate. I'm not sure how it works though. I put the *.TTF in C:\ directory (for a test). My command looks like this, FileInstall("C:\*.TTF", "C:\Windows\Fonts\*.TTF", 0) I have no idea if this is right or not, I don't exactly understand how the "source & dest" path work, and if I put them in the right order in the command. anyways all this to say, its not working. (running W-7) Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaotkbliss Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Fileinstall includes the file into your script when you compile it as an exe, then when the script is run, extracts the file from the exe to the location you chose. I'm not sure if there is a command line you can run to install a font or not. 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!

You cannot use variables for the source path. Then I expect you need to run the script with admin privledges to write to the windows folder.
