Trying to write an autoit script

[NELyon 1]

I'm making a program that generates a FileInstall from the FileOpenDialog. I got it to write the $Region part, but i can't get it to write FileInstall.

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>
MsgBox(64, "Easy Setup Code Maker!", "Welcome to the Setup Code Maker. This will"&@CRLF&"Make a custom setup program for your program!")
FileWrite("Installcode.au3", '#region----Code Generated by Easy Setup Generator'&@CRLF)
MsgBox(64, "Easy Setup Code Maker!", "Get ready to select the file the installer will install")
$file = FileOpenDialog("Open a file","","All Files (*.*)")
FileWrite("Installcode.au3", 'FileInstall('&$file&', "C:\"');<<<<<Right there>>>>>

How would this ever work ?

FileInstall() will include the File-to-be-Installed into the EXE at compilation time.

so how would aut2exe know what to include in the EXE ?

I'm gonna make it write the path into the FileInstall code, so when compiled, it includes the file they selected.

ok see what you are doing now.. my bad... try:

FileWrite("Installcode.au3", 'FileInstall("'&$file&'", "C:\"')

sorry, still only writes the region part

FileOpenDialog changes working directory so you FileWrite is continued in the new directory.

FileWrite("Installcode.au3", 'FileInstall("'&$file&'", "C:\"')

Was that missing something?

FileWrite("Installcode.au3", 'FileInstall("'&$file&'", "C:\")')
