I want to write a small Installer.

I used Includebinary to have one big file (included an executable and a few datafiles) but i don't know how to copy them back on my Harddrive.
The CopyFile-command only work with extern Files.

Does somebody have an idea ?

create an empty file and use CopyMemory()
add a label before includebinary command
and ?label will give the pointer to this address

Simple old snippet...

Code: Select all


If CreateFile(0, "SomeNewFile.file")
  WriteData(?File_Start, ?File_End - ?File_Start)  ; ?File_End - ?File_Start = FileSize
  CloseFile(0)
Endif


; ---------------------------------------

DataSection
File_Start:
  IncludeBinary "Whatever.file"
File_End:
EndDataSection

typo in that line ?FileStart, should be ?File_Start,
then it works great! Joe
