WilliamP Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) I can't seem to figure this one out. as part of a larger install package I wrote to simplfy the installation of a suite of applications we install quite often, there is a utility call SetSecurityApp.exe. This needs to run from the local C drive. I would like to add it to a new compiled script just to run this utility. Rahter than just copyi8ng the file from a location as the script below does, I would like to user "FileInstall" so all I have to have is my compile script executable, but once I use file install how do I "Extract" the SetSecurityApp out of my script to the local C drive? The SetSecurityApp.exe is a small GUI that runs to set security options in Dot Net Framework BlockInput (1) ;Set Security Application FileCopy("SetSecurityApp.exe", "C:\") run("c:\SetSecurityApp.exe") WinWaitActive("NICE Perform Security Adjustment Tool") Send ("server name") Sleep(1000) WinWaitActive("NICE Perform Security Adjustment Tool") send ("{TAB}") send ("{ENTER}") Sleep (4000) send ("{TAB}") send ("{ENTER}") BlockInput(0) Edited June 21, 2011 by WilliamP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 FileInstall ( "source = where your file is on your hard drive", "dest = where you want it to be extracted to on the computer that's running your script" (optional[, flag 0 = (default) do not overwrite existing files, 1 = overwrite existing files]) ) If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

monoscout999 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Welcome did you see the FileInstall() Help?? FileInstall ( "source", "dest" [, flag] )soo FileInstall("C:\SetSecurityApp.exe",@Scriptdir&"\SetSecurityApp.exe") then when you compile and execute this in any PC, the SetSecurityApp.exe file will be in the script dir By.

monoscout999 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Sorry I did not make myself clear, I know how to use and script the file install but once I compile the script into an executable how do I copy the SetSecurityApp back out of the script onto the root of C so I can run the script from any location? Sorry for not being specific enough, and thank yo for the reply.When you write the FileInstall command you put the destination folder.... fileinstall do all the job Edited June 21, 2011 by monoscout999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) It does it automatically as soon as you run the script, when it hits the FileInstall function, it extracts to the "dest" location.From the help file:RemarksThe FileInstall function is designed to include files into a compiled AutoIt script. These included files can then be "extracted" during execution of the compiled script if the statement is executed. Keep in mind that files such as images can greatly increase the size of a compiled script.
