FileInstall issue

[Jmtyra]

I'm trying to include a small JPG for my splashscreen, and it looks like I have to use FileInstall.

Here's the odd part: the script works fine, unless I compile it!

It works fine all day as a script, but not as an EXE.

What am I doing wrong?

#region                         |------SPLASH SCREEN------|
; A nice little splash screen :-)
$Splash = @TempDir & "\SplashScreen.jpg"
FileInstall("\\server\share$\folder\folder\SplashScreen.jpg", @TempDir, 1)
SplashImageOn("SomeTitle", $Splash, "-1", "-1", "-1", "-1", 1)
Sleep(3000)
SplashOff()
#endregion                      |------SPLASH SCREEN------|

When the GUI is closed, I cleanup with:

; When the GUI unloads/exits, we need to remove the splashscreen file
; that we loaded to the user's temp dir
FileDelete($Splash)

Update: I thought it might be because I'm using an UNC address to wrap the JPG into the EXE, but I moved the script to a local folder along with the JPG...same issue, works as a script but not as an EXE...

Probably because you don't have a trailing backslash:

The destination path with trailing backslash. This can be a variable.

try:

FileInstall("\\server\share$\folder\folder\SplashScreen.jpg", $Splash, 1)

try...

FileInstall("\\server\share$\folder\folder\SplashScreen.jpg", $Splash, 1)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That gives me a syntax error from the FileInstall function. I think it's because my var $Splash references a file instead of a folder. Will FileInstall accept a file instead of a folder location for the "dest" part?

Thanks for the reply Larry!

Hey, that worked. Instead of using @TempDir, I set a new var to add the trailing backslash.

$TempDir = @TempDir & "\"

After updating all the other img references, and re-compile, it works great.

Thanks!
