move running .exe

[tannerli]

I didn't use de search function because i didn't know which words i should use...

My problem is that:

if i start my script, it should copy ITSELF to a dir...

for example if i run "test.exe" from my desktop it should make a copy of "test.exe" to "c:\temp\"

thanks for every help! (and sorry for my english, i'm not englishspeaking... )

make a copy of the script and change the name of it. add this to your script

fileinstall("yourpath&othername.exe","whereyouwantit&othername.exe")
run("yourpath&othername.exe")

do that for each place you want to put it

EDIT: that would make the .exe twice as big.... my first solution before i edited was to make a starter script.. like so

;starter script
fileinstall("yourpath&program.exe","whereyouwantit&program.exe")
fileinstall("yourpath&program.exe","whereyouwantit&OTHERNAME.exe");;***
;***notice you can rename the program to run 2 copies in the same dir if wanted.
run("yourpath&program.exe")
run("yourpath&othername.exe")

i think this would be the best option, but i had read your post and changed my original post because i didnt read something correctly. but i think this second way is the best option overall
