Embeding Files Into Script.exe..?

[cypher175]

Is it possible at all to Embed multiple files into the final compiled Script.exe, then call & use them from within the script.exe itself..??

Like if i wanted to embed another .exe file into the main Script.exe that does something else and then in the autoIt code call on it to execute..

is anything like this possible at all yet with AutoIt..??

I've been using Quick Batch File Compiler http://www.abyssmedia.com/quickbfc/ for a while and it has a feature like this:

Quick Batch File Compiler also lets you set various resources in the .EXE file, such as its description, the company name, version information and even the application icon. In additional, you may include any files to compiled exe file and use it during execution.

And if you wanted to execute a file included in the final .EXE all you have to do is just use some code like this:

Start %MYFILES%\FILE.EXE

So is anything like this possible at all yet with AutoIt..??

Much more is possible.

Learn about FileInstall() function and search forum for "Add and use binary data to/from resources"

Search the forums for this. Has been done a couple of times in different ways...

Hi cypher175,

Try the AutoIt3Wrapper Compiler Directives. You can find them starting in SciTE: Help > SciTE Help > Extra Utilities > AutoIt3Wrapper
