You have the parameters for FileInstall() wrong as you have 3 and the function only takes 2.

Fileinstall ("c:\cleanfiles\ninja.exe", @ScriptDir, "c:\Cleaning")

Just specify the proper target directory as the second parameter.

Bedankt haha

Maar als in het Nederlands even kan heel fijn. 

 

Ik heb het deel met @scriptdir ook weg gelaten en dan nog lukt het niet. Als ik het script compile dan zit de exde er wel in maar hij zet het bestand dan niet in die folder cleaning

Nah, let's keep on using English around here as else most other won't understand it anymore.

So where exactly would you like the included file to be store when the compiled script is ran?

I want the exe file to be copied to c:\cleaning 

But that files must be in the compiled script. 

 

Let's say I want to make one big file with multiple exe files to be as one. And then when I run the script I press a button in the menu I make and then that exe files is run from c:\cleaning.

Ok, so what did you change the fileinstall statement to?

Is that subdirectory already existing or does it need to be created?

Jos

[tris20]

With statement do you mean the flag. Yes I did it with flag. 

 

The directory where it needs to be would be created by the script. I even put in an 10 sec sleep before going to the fileinstall. 

[Jos]

Just show the code please so I can see if there's anything still wrong.

this is the code now,

expandcollapse popup

;#RequireAdmin

; folders
DirCreate ("c:\Cleaning")

sleep(10000)

; programs
; systemninja

Fileinstall ("c:\cleanfiles\ninja.exe", "c:\Cleaning", 1)

; menu begin
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Users\Retro\Documents\autoit\CleaningMenu.kxf
Global $Cleaning = GUICreate("Cleaning", 615, 437, 192, 124)
Global $Systemninja = GUICtrlCreateButton("Systemninja", 16, 16, 155, 41)
Global $DeleteFolder = GUICtrlCreateButton("DeleteFolder", 440, 384, 155, 41)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFF0000)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

; menu einde

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

        case $DeleteFolder
            DeleteFolder()

        case $Systemninja
            Systemninja()

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func DeleteFolder()

    DirRemove ("c:\Cleaning")

EndFunc

func Systemninja()

    run ("c:\Cleaning\ninja.exe")

EndFunc

Try adding the target filename as well to the FileInstall():

;#RequireAdmin

; folders
$rc = DirCreate ("c:\Cleaning")

; programs
; systemninja

$rc = Fileinstall ("c:\cleanfiles\ninja.exe", "c:\Cleaning\ninja.exe", 1)

There should be no need for the pause. It also helps to test the returncodes of the functions to find out whether they were successful.
