this part of my script isn't working

#include <File.au3>
DirGetSize(@ProgramFilesDir & "/don't delete")
If @error = 1 Then
    DirCreate(@ProgramFilesDir & "/don't delete")
EndIf
    $path = @DesktopDir & "Folder/object"
    $path2 = @ProgramFilesDir & "/don't delete"
    FileInstall($path, $path2)

i dont think you can use this ' in a folder name

2

fileinstall is to include that file in the script

maybe filemove??

#include <File.au3>
$path = @DesktopDir & "\Folder\test.txt"
$path2 = @ProgramFilesDir & "\dont delete\"
DirGetSize($path2)
If @error = 1 Then
    DirCreate($path2)
EndIf
FileMove($path, $path2)

*** tested ok

Just out of curiosity (or noseyness, if you like)...

You seem to be using DirGetSize as a test for the existence of the folder? FileExists() will test for files and directories. If there might be a file of the given name, and you want to be sure you are testing for a directory, just add the trailing backslash (which I see you've added to $path2 already). A major difference between FileExists() and DirGetSize() is the binary return that makes it much tighter and quicker to assess the results:

$path = @DesktopDir & "\Folder\test.txt"
$path2 = @ProgramFilesDir & "\dont delete\"
If Not FileExists($path2) DirCreate($path2)
FileMove($path, $path2)

Cheers!
