compile a file and an exe with autoit

[Pangu]

hello,

I will like to know if it is possible to compile a file and an exe in a script

for example :

file : filesetup

executable : setup.exe

scritps autoit : install.au3

and compile the whole in a single file install.exe

it is possible with autoit because with "fileinsall" doesn't function

thank you

Hi,

FileInstall() in the helpfile

So long,

yes but for an executable i use :

FileInstall(".\setup.exe", @TempDir & "\setup.exe", 0)

whereas i have an error for files :

FileInstall(".\filesetup", @TempDir & "\filesetup", 0)

you are an idea :">

The source file must be a string and not a variable so that the compiler can extract the filename to include. The source cannot contain wildcards.

You would also need a trailing back slash after @TempDir & '\filesetup\', 0). Each file will need it's own FileInstall().

these is always the small details that one does not see

now now he says to me after having compiled :

unable to open the script file

however I put well as you said

FileInstall(".\files_setup\", @TempDir & "\file_setup\",0)
FileInstall(".\setup.exe", @TempDir & "\setup.exe",0)

Run(@TempDir & "\setup.exe")

I guess you didn't read everything I posted.

You can't file install a directory.

FileInstall("C:\MyDirectory\Myfile.exe", @TempDir & "\file_setup\", 0)

Use the full path to the item you want to install. Edited October 18, 2006 by SmOke_N

Sorry my english is very bad

so it's impossible to compile a file, if I want the whole file I must rather copy it

...no...

he is saying that you need to tell the compiler what file you want to include in your exe. If you just specifiy the directory it is in, it has no clue which file within the directory to install.

try this:

#include <file.au3>
Func _DirectoryInstall($sDir, $sDestinationDirectory)
    DirCreate($sDestinationDirectory)
    $aFiles = _FileListToArray($sDir)
    For $i = 1 to $aFiles[0]
        FileInstall($sDir & "\" & $aFiles[$i], $sDestinationDirectory & "\" & $aFiles[$i])
    Next

That won't work Chris... FileInstall() source must be a string, not a variable.

Here's a rough example of what I think pangu is trying to do:

#include <file.au3>
$Main = GUICreate('FileInstall Directory', 400, 380)
$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit('', 10, 10, 380, 300)
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Destination Path:', 20, 318, 90, 20, 0x001)
$DestinationPath = GUICtrlCreateInput('@TempDir & "\"', 110, 315, 200, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Flag:', 315, 318, 30, 20, 0x001)
$Flag = GUICtrlCreateCombo('', 345, 315, 40, 300)
GUICtrlSetData($Flag, '0|1|', '0')
$GetDir = GUICtrlCreateButton('Directory Get Files', 80, 345, 100, 30)
$Copy = GUICtrlCreateButton('Copy Data', 220, 345, 100, 30)
GUISetState()
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case - 3
            Exit
        Case $GetDir
            $Dir = FileSelectFolder('Select a directory to fileinstall', @HomeDrive)
            If Not @error Then
                $Files = _FileListToArray($Dir, '*.*', 1)
                If IsArray($Files) Then
                    Dim $sHold = '', $sRead = GUICtrlRead($DestinationPath), $nFlag = GUICtrlRead($Flag)
                    For $iCC = 1 To UBound($Files) - 1
                        $sHold &= 'FileInstall("' & $Dir & '\' & $Files[$iCC] & '", ' & $sRead & ', ' & $nFlag & ')' & @CRLF
                    Next
                    GUICtrlSetData($Edit, '')
                    GUICtrlSetData($Edit, $sHold)
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Case $Copy
            ClipPut(GUICtrlRead($Edit))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Now you don't have to hand write every file, just copy and paste.

Edit:

Forgot to clear the $sHold var.

ah.. kk, i did'nt know that

I just tested it without compiling and worked fine.

thanks.

[Pangu]

thank you for your script SmOke_N that is not appropriate and CHRIS95219, i don't understand your script

I need the directory named file_setup because the exe needs the file to continue the installation, when the exe runs, it searchs the files it needs to carry on and if they are not continuous inside it cannot continue. this is why I want to compile it with the exe

Sounds like you need to use FileInstall with DirCreate.

DirCreate("C:\Test1\Folder1\Folder2")

after one night of reflexion, I realized that the script of Smoke should function

here is what that gives me :

FileInstall(".\Installer.exe", @TempDir & "\Installer.exe", 0)
FileInstall("E:\directory_setup\data1.cab", @TempDir & "\directory_setup\", 0)
FileInstall("E:\directory_setup\data1.hdr", @TempDir & "\directory_setup\", 0)
FileInstall("E:\directory_setup\data2.cab", @TempDir & "\directory_setup\", 0)
FileInstall("E:\directory_setup\engine32.cab", @TempDir & "\directory_setup\", 0)
FileInstall("E:\directory_setup\layout.bin", @TempDir & "\directory_setup\", 0)
FileInstall("E:\directory_setup\Datas\Os\98\CATALOG3.CAB", @TempDir & "\directory_setup\Datas\Os\98\", 0)
FileInstall("E:\directory_setup\Datas\Os\98\NET10.CAB", @TempDir & "\directory_setup\Datas\Os\98\", 0)

and i don't understand why that doesn't function

Smoke, You meant what

You have to create the directory "directory_setup" with DirCreate() first before using the fileinstalls.

You have to create the directory "directory_setup" with DirCreate() first before using the fileinstalls.

Sounds like a good suggestion for an future enhancement.

I could never understand why most of the file copying functions won't create subdirs if they didn't exist. I know that FILECOPY now supports this via a option parameter but honestly, shouldn't functions like these automatically create the folders (or at least give you the option like the current FILECOPY)?

I'm ranting again...time for bed!

[this-is-me]

Which of the copy operations do you speak of?

I've finally made the compilation for the whole folder

from the first window which couldn't manage to pass to the next one, I thus directly launched the second window and there it works, Smoke_N's way of work is thus good.

thank you all
