exe build error

[enaiman]

This is weird - I tried to compile a script and I've got this error.

The script runs fine, had been checked and tidy-ed but I get this error and the compile stops.

Script:

#Region;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=C:\Documents and Settings\enaiman\Desktop\icons\Diskettes\diskette 1.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=SearchMRTG_Install.exe
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Comment=Installer for SearchMRTG
#EndRegion;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Global $InstDir = "D:\Program Files\SearchMRTG"
If Not IsDeclared("iMsgBoxAnswer") Then Local $iMsgBoxAnswer
$iMsgBoxAnswer = MsgBox(36, "Install SearchMRTG?", "This will install SearchMRTG version 1.0." & @CRLF & "                   Continue?")
Select
    Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 6;Yes
        _InstallApp()
    Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 7;No
        Exit
EndSelect

Func _InstallApp()
    DirCreate($InstDir)
    FileInstall(@ScriptDir & "\SearchMRTG v1.0.exe", $InstDir & "\SearchMRTG v1.0.exe", 1)
    FileInstall(@ScriptDir & "\Right_arrow.ico", $InstDir & "\Right_arrow.ico", 1)
    FileInstall(@ScriptDir & "\left_arrow.ico", $InstDir & "\left_arrow.ico", 1)
    FileInstall(@ScriptDir & "\SearchGreen.ico", $InstDir & "\SearchGreen.ico", 1)
    FileCreateShortcut($InstDir & "\SearchMRTG v1.0.exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\" & @UserName & "\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\SearchMRTG v1.0.lnk", "", "", "Launch SearchMRTG")
    FileCreateShortcut($InstDir & "\SearchMRTG v1.0.exe", @DesktopDir & "\SearchMRTG v1.0.lnk", "", "", "Launch SearchMRTG")
    MsgBox(36, "Done", "SearchMRTG v1.0 installed successfuly")
EndFunc ;==>_InstallApp

and SciTe output:

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks

Vista or XP?

Edit: Nevermind I see it in the output. I haven't gotten this error but could it be trying to write to a read-only dir?

It's XP - but I found the error:

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

Replaced @ScriptDir with proper path and everything was OK ...

I feel quite ashamed now - I should have looked once again in the help (I went back here to delete the topic but it already has a reply)

Sorry,

I didn't notice that it was a variable either so...we all make mistakes.
