FileInstall fails

[hiho]

Even if I do compile and run

$p2 = "E:\Programs\Counter Strike 1.6 Lite\cstrike"
FileInstall("E:\Programs\New folder\cstrike\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", $p2 & "\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", 1)

the file doesn't doesn't copy at the destination.

You have already made that point clear but have you understood and tested with any of the other suggestions?

Yes, I understood the first paragraph of your post. Running/compiling

$p2 = "E:\Programs\Counter Strike 1.6 Lite\cstrike"
;~ FileInstall("E:\Programs\New folder\cstrike\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", $p2 & "\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", 1)

FileCopy("E:\Programs\New folder\cstrike\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", $p2 & "\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", 1)
if @error Then MsgBox(0, "", @error)

doesn't return error (or messagebox), but still doesn't copy the file. About the second paragraph - running

$p2 = "E:\Programs\Counter Strike 1.6 Lite\cstrike"
;~ FileInstall("E:\Programs\New folder\cstrike\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", $p2 & "\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", 1)

FileCopy("E:\Programs\New folder\cstrike\resource\background\800_1_a_loading.tga", $p2 & "\resource\background\", 1)
if @error Then MsgBox(0, "", @error)

does the exact samething - file named "background" with the same content. So in this case we can say that FileCopy works.

if you make a "test.txt" in your source folder, does that install to the destination as expected with literal strings?

FileInstall("E:\Programs\New folder\cstrike\resource\background\test.txt", "E:\Programs\Counter Strike 1.6 Lite\cstrike\resource\background\test.txt", 1)

[hiho]

No, neither filecopy (compiled or not).

Running Unhide and Microsoft's Fix it solved it. Guess it was a problem with my settings my external drive's settings.

Thank you all for the support.

Maybe use FileGetAttrib/FileSetAttrib in your script so so that you can avoid that in the future. Check folder attributes before trying to copy and change them accordingly before running the copy or fileinstall operation.
