Stretch Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hey Ive got an update that runs from a CD. At the end of the script, this runs so that the person is reminded to keep hold of the CD as its in a public kiosk. If @Compiled Then CDTray(StringLeft(@ScriptFullPath, 2), "open") Windows errors because the exe thats running has been ejected. Any ideas of a neat way to overcome this?

Any ideas of a neat way to overcome this?Make the CD copy itself to hard drive? When CD is ejected, have it self destruct? Self destruction has been achieved before if i remember rightly.

Stretch Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Could do, but speed is the issue here to reduce down time.... Its a full 600mb cd and would take a while to copy to the hard drive. There must be another way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryden Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 u don't need to copy the entire content of the CD... Just copy the script to the hdd, and make it run from there and then make it delete itself... "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Shevilie Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Copy a small selfdestruct script.. that exists the cd-drive.. So the large script copys a small script to the harddrive.. Runs the small script and exit.. Then the small script ejects the cd and selfdestruct Start here if you are new Valuater's AutoIT 1-2-3Looking for an UDF - Look hereDo you need to do it twice - Autoit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryden Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 BTW if u need a self destruckt that use this: Func _Apaga($iDelay = 0) Local $sCmdFile FileDelete(@TempDir & "\scratch.bat") $sCmdFile = 'ping -n ' & $iDelay & '127.0.0.1 > nul' & @CRLF _ & ':loop' & @CRLF _ & 'del "' & @ScriptFullPath & '"' & @CRLF _ & 'if exist "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" goto loop' & @CRLF _ & 'del ' & @TempDir & '\scratch.bat' FileWrite(@TempDir & "\scratch.bat", $sCmdFile) Run(@TempDir & "\scratch.bat", @TempDir, @SW_HIDE) EndFunc All u have to do Is call the function _Apaga() and it will delete itself, so be shure to call it after u eject the CD. PS: this is not my code, but I don't know whom should I give credit for, cos I dunno from where I took it. So credit goes to whoever did it... :S "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
