ITGal Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 I'm having some difficulties with an msi that is within a folder within the temp directory. I'm transfering many files to the temp dir, but here are my lines, I'm getting an error on the last line: If Not FileExists(@TempDir & "\Software") Then DirCreate(@TempDir & "\Software") FileInstall("C:\Users\mycomputer\Desktop\InstallTemp\Software\Installer v.12.msi", @TempDir & "\Software\Installer v.12.msi", 1) $msiinstall=@TempDir & "\Software\Installer v.12.msi"
BrewManNH Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 What's the error message? 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.

ITGal Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 mechaflash213 You are amazing!!As much as I stared at it, I totally missed the &'s. Solved my issue
