The FileInstall function is designed to include files into a compiled AutoIt script. These included files can then be "extracted" during execution of the compiled script if the statement is executed. Keep in mind that files such as images can greatly increase the size of a compiled script.

The source file must be a string and not a variable so that the compiler can extract the filename to include. The source cannot contain wildcards.

Once you FileInstall the file into the TempDir you need to then Run it using one of the following.

Run Runs an external program.

RunAs Runs an external program under the context of a different user.

RunAsWait Runs an external program under the context of a different user and pauses script execution until the program finishes.

RunWait Runs an external program and pauses script execution until the program finishes.

or

ShellExecute Runs an external program using the ShellExecute API.

ShellExecuteWait Runs an external program using the ShellExecute API and pauses script execution until it finishes.

Run ( "filename" [, "workingdir" [, show_flag[, opt_flag ]]] )

ShellExecute ( "filename" [, "parameters" [, "workingdir" [, "verb" [, showflag]]]] )

Try

Run(@TempDir & "\software.exe",@TempDir)

I use this often and it works well enough...

#Include <File.au3>

$TempFolder = _TempFile()
$ProgEXE = $TempFolder & "\software.exe"

DirCreate($TempFolder)
FileInstall("C:\temp\software.exe",$ProgEXE)
Run($ProgEXE)
