one EXE file

[usera]

Greeting,

Look for a way:

I need to create a small utility to copy 2 small text files: program.ini and hosts

  

   some code like:

    

                  filecopy ("hosts", "C:\Windows\System32\driversetchosts")

I want to compile these 2 files in the only one EXE file, how can I do that?

thanks

usera

Check out FileInstall()

What exactly is it you are doing with the hosts file?

where is FileInstall(), help can not find it

easy DNS fix

Take a look in the help file for FileInstall() (or just click the link to view the help file online)

Take a look at the helpfile for the FileInstall function. You have almost 200 posts and you don't know what is a function?

Edit: aaaaah too late

Br, FireFox.

forgive me dumbness, but what's wrong with 2-lines batch file?

edit: or even a single line, if you put your 2 source files - and only your 2 source files - in a dedicated folder.

He is wanting to include the files in the executable.  Batch would be fine if he wanted to have 3 files (the batch file, and the two that are being copied).

[FireFox]

More than copying the two files, he wants to compile them in one exe - not possible with a batch script.

Well it's time to go to bed, 2nd time I'm too late.

oh, then FileInstall() it is then.

i'm just saying, cause i tackled that issue in the past, the solution was a batch file called by PsExec on multiple target machines, where the files being copied were placed on a network share.

And do you think it was not useful to mention it in your first post ?

Can you bring me some food?

It's in the mail... I wouldn't eat it.

Something non-perishable in this case

well. it's kind of hard to list all possible ways to put files in folders... and batch is still one of the most powerful (and most underestimated) methods i know of. admin may want to include a batch command in login script, in the "Startup" folder, in the registry "Run", ... or with PsExec. let the guy choose, i was just pointing it out.
