I am having trouble with the 1st line, File install won't work, I put a random .exe file into my c drive, so I can get it to compile, then remove it after compile, that normally works, but this time it doesn't please help.

(If you try the script by running it, the passcode is 2-5-4-6-8-enter

Could you further specify how the FileInstall is "not working", and what (in your opinion) it should be doing if it was working correctly?

[SmOke_N]

Did you try to debug it? Do you know exactly where your Startup directory is? Last, is your actual file path to your file your putting in the file install at 'C:\' only?

You may think these 2 questions are silly, but the syntax looks right.

1. Run your script above, then in SciTe run this

If FileExists(@ScriptDir & '\pass.exe') Then MsgBox(0, 'Test 1', 'File is here')

2. Your start up directory, Make sure you persoanlly know where it is

MsgBox(0, 'Test 2', 'Your start up directory is located here:' & @CRLF & @StartupDir)

These are just stabs at it because looks like the syntax is ok.

I know where it is

C:\Documents and Settings\account**\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

When I try too compile the "pass.au3" I have a "pass.exe" in the C:\ drive. When I compile it comes up with the error

--

Error adding file

C:\pass.exe

Let me see if i can understand this, your trying to fileinstall the exe that your compiling your au3 to?

Why?

Try running it like this in your script (change the 'absolutepath' to ('C:\') I'm assuming that's exactly where you say it is)

Local $Path = 'AbsolutePath' & '\pass.exe'
If FileExists($Path) Then
    FileInstall("C:\pass.exe", @StartupDir & "\pass.exe", 1) 
Else
    MsgBox(0, 'Error', 'File does not exists where you have chosen')
EndIf

I didn't catch that part! Edited February 15, 2006 by SmOke_N

Well, my friends requested this actually, He wanted it to install to his start-up folder. I could just tell him where it is too.

People always go on his computer when he doesn't want them too, so he asked for this.

EDIT: Smoke it gave me the error, weird. Thanks for the help, I guess i'll just tell him where it is.

Um, you can't FileInstall a compiled script into itself. You're trying to create a paradox: The source file cannot exist until the script is compiled, but the script won't compile unless the source file already exists.

If you wanted to, you could compile the main script, and create another script that simply FileInstalled the first one and popped up a MsgBox with "installation successful" or something of that nature.
