add file to compiled

[Zithen]

I dont know if it is posible to add a picture file to a compiled au3, so that way when u run the script it will extract that pic if it is not found on the pc in a location? only other way i can think of doing it is putting the pic on the web and having the script download it.

I think what you are looking for is already a function in AutoIt. The link above is for adding a pic to your script without the pic being extracted. However, you specifically state that you want your pic extracted to the PC. Check out FileInstall--this is probably what you are looking for.

the post by MSLx Fanboy is for Icons only ... not pics

and as i understand... Fileinstall does leave the pics on the computer

if it doesn't need to .... i would like to know how
