Need to add large exe file to compiled script

[Steve1040 0]

OK I have a ebook compiled with HTMLEXE (http://www.htmlexe.com).

The final executable is about 55 megs

I'm trying to protect file using Val's Xprotec. I recently got it working (email).

So when a client has already registered and the license is valid. I would like the 55 meg program to start.

So I tried a test with a small file.

This code cause a error "Error adding file"

Here is my code

CODE

$XLicense=XProTec($D_Mail, $D_Program, $U_Price, $U_Trial, $U_License, $D_License, $D_PayPal, $D_Link, $U_Return)

$b = True

If $b = True Then FileInstall("C:\data folder root\Auction\lockcode\Sci.exe", "C:\data folder root\Auction\lockcode\run\Sci.exe")

What am I doing wrong?

First, are you 100% certain that is the correct file path? and second, does the directory you are installing to already exist?

You can do

If Not FileExists("C:\data folder root\Auction\lockcode\run\") Then DirCreate("C:\data folder root\Auction\lockcode\run\")

In order to ensure this directory exists

Yes the path is correct.

I created it for this test.

Just to make sure my understanding of FileInstall is correct

FileInstall("Inputfile", "Outputfile")

Input is the file I want added to the compiled script

Output is the Filename of the (compiled script + the Input file)

Is this correct?

Inputfile must be written out completely. NO VARIABLES OR @MACROS.

IE: "C:\program files\this\long\ass\folder\with\the\file.exe"

Outputfile can be a variable or contain @macros.

$file = "C:\program files\the\output\folder\file.exe"

FileInstall("C:\program files\this\long\ass\folder\with\the\file.exe", $file, 1)

It's okay. Just pack up your desk at the end of the day.

Perhaps a little cash would show how sorry I am.

How does $I000.00 sound

Where should I send this check
