FileInstall

[Doctorkirk]

Hi Guys, i was trying to make a "Installation Wizard" but, i can't make FileInstall works... Here's my code, what the hell am I doing wrong?

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#RequireAdmin


$Gui = GUICreate("Installazione",500,200)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput (@ProgramFilesDir&"\PassMan",100,70,200,20)
$Browse = Guictrlcreatebutton("Sfoglia...",390,70)
$Cancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Annulla",100,150)
$Install = GUICtrlCreateButton("Installa",300,150)
GUISetState ()

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $Browse
$FolderSelect = FileSelectFolder("Scegli una destinazione...","",7)
GUICtrlCreateInput ($FolderSelect,100,70,200,20)
Case $Cancel
Exit
Case $Install
$rInput = GUICtrlRead($Input)
FileInstall("PassMan 1.0.exe",$FolderSelect)
FileInstall("config.ini",$FolderSelect)
FileInstall("My_Bank.pmb",$FolderSelect)
EndSwitch
WEnd

$FolderSelect is a folder, you have to pass a folder and file name to FileInstall, you can't use just a folder name.

BTW, why are you creating an Input control with the contents of the $FolderSelect variable as the default value, are you changing it there? Further down the script, you're getting the the value inside an input control but you're not using it anywhere.

Are the files you're using with FileInstall in the same folder as your script? Because you're using a file name with no path information.

from help file...

"The destination path of the file with trailing backslash if only the directory is used."

Thanks for the correction, been a while since I've looked at that one.

Now that I have been corrected, I can correct the OP with that information. FileSelectFolder doesn't return the folder name with the trailing backslash, so if you need C:Temp, you're going to have to append the backslash on to $FolderSelect like this:

$FolderSelect = FileSelectFolder("Scegli una destinazione...","",7)
$FolderSelect &= "\"

What an idiot, i forgot to put the file name! ahaha Thanks BrewMan you just save me!

BTW, why are you creating an Input control with the contents of the $FolderSelect variable as the default value, are you changing it there?

Yes, i'm changing it, i wanna show the selected folder in the Input.

Further down the script, you're getting the value inside an input control but you're not using it anywhere.

Yeah I know i forgot to delete it, that's all

Aswering your last question, yep, they are in the same folder as the script.

Thanks again BrewMan!

it is better if you let a verable is equal to file directory for example

$FolderSelect = C:Folder nameFile name

[Doctorkirk]

The $FolderSelect take the path from the FileSelectFolder, so we can install the program where the user want...
