FileInstall problems :(

[failedtocompile]

Hello

I am having alot of problems with FileInstall, I thought I had it working few days ago, as it would create the files when script executed to @temp \

Now it does not , I was pretty devastated as I have only started with Autoit and with some help thus far with syntax from the forums I was going along nicely.

the 3x files which needed to be installed to users @TempDir

Some.ini

Pro.exe

123.bmp

The script and all the required files are in the same folder, When i compile the script it does report that it is including the files, and eveidence of that is when i rename one of the files to include.

My Current Code. (I have chopped out some code for privacy issues but this is 98% of the code)

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiToolTip.au3>
#include <file.au3>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Take out those trailing backslashes, or the file names will be treated as directories.

FileInstall("123.bmp", @TempDir & "\123.bmp",1)
FileInstall("PRO.exe", @TempDir & "\PRO.exe",1)
FileInstall("some.INI", @TempDir & "\some.INI",1)

Thanks so much Skruge, that has worked.

The odd thing is if I leave the trailing \ and put some of the code into a blank script and run it, it works.

also in the helpfile i was looking at

dest: The destination path of the file with trailing backslash if only the directory is used. This can be a variable.

So i must of got mixed up there.

Were you running it without compiling? If so, FileInstall calls are translated into FileCopy, which will work with a backslash at the end.
