[Solved] Installing files from compiled .exe

[Qousio]

Hey.

I want to share one of my scripts with my friends, the problem is I would like it to "Install" several Include.au3's. The includes could be stored as text inside the script.

Basically, the script should put/or create several .au3 files in the AutoIt3\Include\ directory. The location part is not a problem, but how to create the files, that is the question ....

Oh gosh, I feel stupid for not finding this in the help file... I was looking at "Install" and found only Install Directory Structure. Thanks allot ProgAndy you have saved the day!

You were not supposed to help because he's asking for Valuator (?)

I'm completely in the dark about the Valuator-related side topic in this thread.

But if this was a legitimate question, in this particular instance, would it not be better to just run the script through the obfuscator with the /so option, rename the source that comes out of that, and distribute that to his freinds?

But FileInstall() is definitely simpler solution for your task.
