Fileinstall

[trids]

This is the first time I'm using FileInstall .. so I might be doing something wrong. But here is my code, and it returns 0 but doesn't actually place the file Oh and I am running the compiled version of the script

;Get the destination form the user    
    $sPathDest = FileSelectFolder ("Destination for new MDB", "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}", 1 )  ;open at MyComputer, 1 = allow "New Folder"
    if @error then
        exit  ;user pressed cancel
    endif
    
;If there is already a file there, then first get the go-ahead    
  ;??????????
  ;??????????
  ;??????????
  ;??????????
  ;??????????
  ;??????????
  ;??????????


;ok proceed!    
    $nRC = FileInstall("D:\Trids\Au3zip\Test.mdb",$sPathDest,1)
    
    Msgbox (4096 +32,"","$nRC=" & $nRC)
    
Exit

Am I missing something?

$nRC = FileInstall("D:\Trids\Au3zip\Test.mdb",$sPathDest,1)

You need to add te filename where you want to copy the file to behind the target directory..

$nRC = FileInstall("D:\Trids\Au3zip\Test.mdb",$sPathDest & "\Test.mdb",1)

Ick! .. sorry for the hassle!

I misread the helpfile: 0 actually means not cool

BTW, JdeB .. if I just append a "\" (with no destination filename) it also works..

$nRC = FileInstall("D:\Trids\Au3zip\Test.mdb",$sPathDest & "\",1)

.. Hmm . now THAT might be useful to put into the help topic
