Ok, I have made a great self installer for my new up coming release of K.I.O. v1.0 Beta Release 1.

My problem is though that I have all the files I need all ready in paths that will work, but when I file install/file copy to c:/program files/ it will only copy the files in the first folder and not the sub folders or the folder that holds all the data "K.I.O. v1.0" I need it to copy that folder with all data and sub folders... but how? :P

any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

No thanks I think I'll pass until it works :P

Besides. I Think you will get better answers if you provide a little bit of code. The file install/copy routines maybe?

You really need to read the FileInstall help page :P

The first thing that comes to mind is:

The source path of the file to compile. This must be a literal string; it cannot be a variable.

Another note is that the code provided seems to be rather fare from the problem you described.

Hey, I understand your problem, it's nearly exactly what you first described, it does not contain a variable (unless a macro is a variable), and wow people get very offensive over nothing....

But sadly I can offer no help. Just do each item individually...

ok, i will try them individually, BUT how would i create a folder because i can not get the folder copied...

EDIT: OK all set i was reading around and found a create directory option, took me like 20 min on top of like 2 hours from earlier (this was what I was looking for anyway) thanks guys

I made a script a while back that does this for you. Simply give the function the application directory. Then give it the location to install it to on the target machine, the second parameter must be a literal string. You may include macros, but they must be within the string.

Example:

GetFiles(@ScriptDir & "\My Application Folder\", "@ProgramFilesDir & '\My Application Install Folder'")

or

GetFiles(@ScriptDir & "\Application\", "@MyDocumentsDir & '\Application Projects")

Do not add a trailing backslash to the second parameter!!!

Download it here:

InstallScriptGeneratorv1.0.0.5.au3
