Tech63 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi, I am trying to save a config file for a program overtop of the default config file. The default config file is stored @UserProfileDir & "My Documentsxx.config. The catch... This new config file i have is stored on my pc, I want to save this on many remote pc's that do not have access to my pc. And i'd rather not copy the config file and the script to each pc, I would just like to copy the script and let it run. Is there a way to include it in the script so when i compile it, i wont need to keep the new config file everywhere the script goes? I tried # <include <Filepathxx.config> just returned an error. I know how to write the code to replace the existing config with the new config... that is if the new config was stored in the same location on all the pcs, but sadly it does not exist on all the pcs. Just trying to save some time from doing the manual way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted April 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2014 Tech63,Take a look at FileInstall in the help file - that should do the trick.

AdamUL Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 You forgot the trailing backslash on the destination path. Try this. FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\xx.config", "C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Test\ConfigFolder\", 1) Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
