include executable in compiled script

[switch 0]

Sorry for noob question, I've installed AutoIT about 3 hours ago and what I'm trying to figure out is to include an executable into the compiled script, cause I want to have only one unattended setup exe. I've tried it like this, but it will cause an error..

#Include <vista_inspirat.exe>
#NoTrayIcon

Opt ( "WinWaitDelay" , 300 );
Opt ( "WinTitleMatchMode" , 4 );
Opt ( "WinDetectHiddenText" , 1 );

;RunSetup
Run ( "vista_inspirat.exe" );

....

Exit

What am I doin' wrong? Any help will be highly appreciated.

P.S.: Sorry for my english

Search the Autoit3 Helpfile for "FileInstall". It should be exactly what you need

[Swift 0]

#Include "vista_inspirat.exe";MUST BE in the same place as the script for it too work

Try that!

[switch 0]

#Include "vista_inspirat.exe";MUST BE in the same place as the script for it too work

Try that!

It is in the same directory. maybe I'm a beginner, but I'm not dumb

Swift is dead wrong.

Look in the helpfile for FileInstall like I said. It's perfect for your uses

You can include .exe's...I think.. O.o?

FileInstall ("vista_inspirat.exe" , "%windir%\Temp\" );

Run ( "%windir%\Temp\vista_inspirat.exe" );

Did I get it?

[Swift 0]

FileInstall(@ScriptDir & "\vista_inspirat.exe", @TempDir & "\vista_inspirat.exe"); <---Gotta put the filename of what your installing

then...

Run(@TempDir & "\vista_inspirat.exe"); <----then run it at the TempDir where you installed it.

Basically...Just a few mistakes

Use a bit of caution here.

That fileInstall could fail.

From the help file

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

@ScriptDir could cause it to fail.

[GEOSoft 64]

whoops.. "Invalid FileInstall() function:" at compilation...

You have to set the full path to the source. Sometimes you can get away with using just the filename for the source but that often won't work either.

Exactly. Compilation will end prematurely with an error.

FileInstall ( "vista_inspirat.exe" , @TempDir & "vista_inspirat.exe" );

Run ( @TempDir & "vista_inspirat.exe" );

This seems to be the solution.

Thanks a lot, everybody

Last question - I swear how to SILENTLY run the compiled exe? Tried all usual switches, but any of them won't work. Thx.

That depends on what installer was used to create the package.

Did you try

/s

/q

/silent

/qn

/v"/qn"
