Is this possible?

[Toy]

Hello! I wrote a script and i want to use it from any computer.

So first i make a .exe file from the script.

But now my issue. The script needs additional files and i want to put them into the .exe too. So i can use 1 file.

For Example:

When i run the .exe i want it to extract some files to a new to create subfolder of the script.

So when i have the script in C:/ and i execute the exe i want it to make a folder with the name EXTRA and put in the files i want. When the folder already exist it has to do nothing.

Who can help me out with the possibilities and whats the best way of doing this?

Try FileInstall

; Include a  bitmap found in "C:\test.bmp" with the compiled program and put it in "D:\mydir\test.bmp" when it is run 
$b = True 
If $b = True Then FileInstall("C:\test.bmp", "D:\mydir\test.bmp")

$b = True 
If $b = True Then FileInstall("C:\test.bmp", "D:\mydir\test.bmp")

I have seen that in the help file. But what i understand i cannot create a file in @scriptdir.

There is no restriction on the path for the files extracted from the exe, (ignoring UAC) only the source for the files at compile time must be a constant. If you have designed your app to save files to the scriptdir and the script is in Program Files then, well, you shouldn't IMO although you will get away with it in XP.

So for example

DirCreate("@AppDataDir\Squiggle\")

FileInstall("C:\My Documents\Somefolder\File1.abc", @AppDataDir\Squiggle\file1.abc", 1)

is ok
