KurogamineNox Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) hey, I was wondering if it is possible to store a .exe file inside your reference section of your autoit program? I was thinking of like making a seperate program that would autoupdate my main program but use as a seperate program that is stored inside the main program without acually having to put that extra coding inside the main, as since updating it is going to delete the main program and replace with the updated one. Edit: Reference or Resource. Edited September 21, 2010 by KurogamineNox
M a k a v e l ! Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Hey Kuro, I don't think it's possible to store a .exe file inside your reference section or even to try... I don't know how that will.. beInstead, build yourself a second .exe that will receive command lines ("$CmdLine[0], $CmdLine[1], $CmdLine[2], ..." see help file). This should be your "ControlApps.exe". In that, you could code a reboot function, update function based on the cmdline received.Ex: (don't copy-paste, its an example)1. Application#1 : Send to "ControlApps.exe" what you want to do reboot, update, ... whateverRun("ControlApps.exe", "update", "param2"[, "param3"])Exit2. "ControlApps.exe"Get the command lines sent by Application#1Add conditions>If "update" = get fileversion from database or ini file or GetFileVersion(@Scriptname="Application#1"), do what you have to do If Application#1 version < database Application#1 version, FileDelete(Application#1) and replace it with your new and updated Application#1Run("Application#1")Exit>If "reboot" = Run("Application#1")ExitIn a few lines, your done.You absolutly need a second .exe cause the first one died, so...This is the solution I use for my updates and reboots.Hope it helps!

wakillon Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 If i understand , you want another executable to updating of main executable ! You can include it with fileinstall function or download it with inetget... AutoIt 3.3.18.0 X86 - SciTE 4.4.6.0 - WIN 11 24H2 X64 - Other Examples Scripts
rudi Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Hi. Not sure, if I get correctly, what you want: If you just want to make a program to autoupdate it's local copy from a central copy, then store the information of the cental location either within the program code itself, or, more flexible, store it in an INI file. ------------- MyProg.ini ----------------- [update] CheckNewVersion=\\server\share\path\path\MyProg.exe ------------------------------------------ Then check within the program, if the central one is newer: $Compare = IniRead(StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, 3) & "ini", "CheckNewVersion", "Failure") ;Check for update call. If $cmdline[0] = 2 And $cmdline[1] = "-update" Then ; maybe check also, that -> DriveGetType($cmdline[2]="Fixed", and write rights $EmergencyExit = 0 While 1 If FileCopy(@ScriptFullPath, $cmdline[2], 1) Then ExitLoop ; 1 = overwrite Sleep(1000) ; wait 1 second for the local copy to terminate, so that it can be overwritten. $EmergencyExit += 1 ;increment 1 If $EmergencyExit > 10 Then ; doesn't work: handle error (e.g. no local write rights... ExitLoop EndIf WEnd Run($cmdline[2]) ; start the local copy again. Exit EndIf If Not FileExists($Compare) Then ; check, that the file exists... ; handle error situation Else $LocalVersion = FileGetVersion(@ScriptFullPath) $UpdateVersion = FileGetVersion($Compare) If _VersionCompare($LocalVersion, $UpdateVersion) < 0 Then Run($Compare & " -update " & @ScriptFullPath) Exit EndIf EndIf this is simplified from another script and not tested, just as a start.

KurogamineNox Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Alright Ill see what I can do, though my main thought was like it keeps my update.exe inside the main program inside like the resources section then when I want it to update I guess copy the update.exe from resource and paste it inside the main programs installed directory. Then run it and update the main program then delete itself. Reason because I thought it would be easier to just add coding in a separate program rather than the main program itself, that way I could like add some special things to the update.exe, but ill see what I can do. Thanks.
M a k a v e l ! Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) It is in fact easier to just add coding in a separate program rather than the main program itself... depending on what you need to do Edited September 22, 2010 by M a k a v e l !

trung0407 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 FileInstall allow you to store a file to your program. But after that it will be extracted, you can use Run to run it. Another way is put it as a function. It's nothing different when they are all compiled into binary file.
trung0407 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I wasn't. I answered to your question how to store a file inside another file
trung0407 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) saw it. But I believe the doesn't run :| Can you elaborate what do you mean by update the list by recommendation? receive data update list using guictrlsetdata, etc... Edited October 7, 2010 by trung0407
LordJugag Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I want when you start the browser to make updates taking a file from server. File containing a list of recommended links. Browser to read list from file to recommend when click on button "Recommendation". I was clear enough?
trung0407 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Easy. Download a file => INetGet Read a file => FileRead On click, update the list => GuiCtrlSetData($idList, $data)
LordJugag Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for guidance... I have these questions: How to combine two instructions? $oIE.Navigate ("http://www.domain1.com")with $iniread = IniRead($ini, "RECCOMENDATION", "DOMAIN_1", "") I want to take the link from Browser.ini Example from Browser.ini [URL] LAST URL=http://www.autoitscript.com [DISPLAY] HEIGHT=600 WIDTH=800 [RECCOMENDATION] DOMAIN_1=http://www.domain1.com DOMAIN_2=http://www.domain2.com DOMAIN_3=http://www.domain3.com DOMAIN_4=http://www.domain4.com DOMAIN_5=http://www.domain5.com
trung0407 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 That's the basic ... $iniread = IniRead($ini, "RECCOMENDATION", "DOMAIN_1", "") $oIE.Navigate ($iniread) or $oIE.Navigate(IniRead($ini, "RECCOMENDATION", "DOMAIN_1", ""))
LordJugag Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I'm stupid ... thank you Another small issue... Case $tm_recommendation _Recommendation() FileDelete("\Browser.ini") InetGet("http://www.domain.com/Browser.ini", @TempDir & "\Browser.ini", 1, 0) ... is ok ? We need to do something? Edited October 7, 2010 by LordJugag
trung0407 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Run script, test it if work => ok not work => not ok how could i know if you need something or not.
