FileInstall to extract to %Temp%\data folder?

[MrChris]

I need help understanding how to use environment vars in AutoIt currently while im trying to compile a script I want to use FileInstall and I know how to use that but not understanding how to use it when I want the extract path to be the users %temp%\data folder? the data folder will be created when extracting the content. So that later I can use the RunWait function of the extracted file/files!

I tried to read FileInstall and @tempdir and a few others but non give examples with a $var in the FileInstall extract path.

Thanks,

MrChris

This will work...

DirCreate(@TempDir & '\data')
FileInstall("c:\daten\test.bat", @TempDir & '\data\test.bat',1)oÝ÷ Ú
(v[@ÈMEqÇè®

DirCreate($var)
FileInstall("c:\daten\test.bat", $var & '\test.bat',1)

An example

; Variable is assigned
$var = @TempDir & '\data'

; Create the folder
If DirCreate($var) Then

    ; Extract the file to the folder (trailing backslash used a is a File* function)
    If FileInstall('file.exe', $var & '\') Then

        ; Execute the extracted file
        RunWait($var & '\file.exe')

        ; Remove the directory from the themp folder
        DirRemove($var, 1)

    EndIf
EndIf

Ahhhhh now it makes a little more sense.
