Phlegm Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I there a way to add files to the compiled exe so that I have a script and the file in one exe? I don't see an option in the compiler. Perhaps there is another program to do this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XinLu Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 FileInstall ( "source", "dest" [, flag] ) is this what you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 FileInstall ( "source", "dest" [, flag] ) is this what you need? Thanks but I was looking to include files into the EXE package so I have them to copy/replace/register ect. without calling out to a source since some deploys the end user may not have access to the network. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XinLu Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I use WinRAR self-extract feature. You may configure WinRAR to run your .exe automatically after extracting all files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XinLu Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 adding info. to use FileInstall() Func OnAutoItStart () FileInstall("fileNeed2beCopied", "C:\copyToHere", 1) EndFunc If you use some kind of codes listed above, this can guarantee you will have your files to copy/replace/register, because OnAutoItStart() will be run before all other codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks, Looks like file install is good for a few files. And I think the winrar may be the way for directories or a larger amount of files since it looks like I need to create folders and call individual files out. Is this a correct assesment? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyfish Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I also was looking to do this. Go to this site http://www.portablefreeware.com and search for a prog called nBinder. It will combine all files of a program to a single exe and extract them when you open the program. Also has the option to delete files that were extracted when you close program. Hope this helps.
