Learning FileInstall()

[mattey]

Today i started learning file install. I dont know if i am right, but is this the correct way to go about it.

FileInstall( "Aut2exe.exe", "Aut2exe.exe" )
FileInstall( "AutoItASC.bin", "AutoItASC.bin" )
FileInstall( "upx.exe", "upx.exe" )
FileInstall( "AutoItSC.bin", "AutoItSC.bin" )

/in c:\pcinfo.au3 /out c:\myapp.exe
/in c:\tetiary.au3 /out c:\myapp.exe

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Inet.au3>
#include <pcInfo.au3>
#include <tetiary.au3>


#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop\Forms\Form1.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 337, 189, 192, 124)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 128, 48, 177, 21)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Enter CP URL", 48, 48, 71, 17)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Create Child Server", 48, 104, 99, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 176, 104, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Please I do need help.

Hi,

FileInstall includes the file within the executable when it's compiled, here you set the same path so there's nothing done (and no overwrite because the optional parameter is not set to 1).

Br, FireFox.

An example from one of mine

FileInstall(".\compile\the_logo.jpg", @TempDir & "\Stt\", 1)

Starts from script dir into compile folder and file to temp directory in a folder with an overwrite flag on the end

Oh So first i have to get the directory i am compiling from, then compile and put in a destination? is that what you mean? could you help with a clearer example using my code. Pls.

Also is the command line arguement correct?

FileInstall is intended to include a file with your compiled executable. You do not need to include any of the files you have listed in your code. This should work just fine for you when compiled with F7, assuming you have the Inet, pcInfo and tetiary UDFs on your system (I do not).

#include <pcInfo.au3>
#include <tetiary.au3>
