[halocast]

Hi i have a problem that i hope u people can help!

i have a Folder that i want to copy from the CD to the harddrive into a specified location how do i go about doing it? Filecopy?

i need to copy the folder before the installation starts. i put the filecopy inside a function.. will it work?

$CD1 = FindCD('EA70.exe')

Run($CD1 & 'EA70.exe')

FileCopy("$CD1\install\Enterprise Architect - Corporate Floating Edition\CD\EA Licences\sskeys.dat", "C:\EA Licences\", 9)

Func FindCD($name)

$cdrom = DriveGetDrive('CDROM')

If Not @error Then

For $i = 1 To $cdrom[0]

If FileExists($cdrom[$i] & '\' & $name) Then Return $cdrom[$i]

Next

EndIf

EndFunc

(this is the beginning of the installation process)

WinWaitActive("Enterprise Architect 7.0 Setup", "&Next")

Send("!N")

Where do you have a problem? FileCopy() doesn't care where the source or destination are, or if it's executed in or out of a function. What was the question? Did you try your code? Did it work? If not, what happened?

A variable and a literal string are different so keep them separate.

$CD1 = FindCD('EA70.exe')
Run($CD1 & '\EA70.exe')

FileCopy($CD1 & "\install\Enterprise Architect - Corporate Floating Edition\CD\EA Licences\sskeys.dat", "C:\EA Licences\", 9)

; and the rest...
