Is it possible to 'pack' files inside an .exe AutoIt script?

[sandman]

I mean the same way all the installation files are packed inside a install exe (at least sometimes).

I can explain it a little more if you want me to.

Thanks!

I'm sorry.. but I don't really understand the file. So when the autoit script is run, when not yet compiled, what happens?

Also when you run the exe it can only extract it to somewhere, it can't just keep it inside the exe?

An alternitive is:

Opt("OnExitFunc", "endscript")
FileInstall ("SOURCE", @TempDir & "\Foldername")

Func endscript ()
    DirRemove (@TempDir & "\Foldername")
    Exit
EndFunc

When this function is used from a non-compiled script, a copy operation is performed instead (to allow for easy testing pre-compilation).

To add the ability to include multiple files and directories into a compiled AutoIT executable, it would be cool to write an AutoIT routine that:

Creates a file and directory list" (or array) then generates DirCreate and FileInstall statements in a separate .au3 script that can be included into the original .au3 script and compiled.

At my level of experience I think that it would only take me a few days to figure this out

Creates a file and directory “list" (or array) then generates ‘DirCreate’ and ‘FileInstall’ statements in a separate .au3 script that can be included into the original .au3 script and compiled.

Use the Forum Search Button and it maybe easier. I made a tool in SendToA3X to create a generated fileinstall script and I am fairly sure that SmOke_N has posted a similar script in the Example Scripts Forum somewhere.

Edit: Oh late. Too kind you are SmOke_N with suppling a link

Yeah, but I like the A3x idea too, I didn't know you did that, I just did a Command Line one for myself the other day, would have saved some time lol.
