dub Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi how you input the code in winrar sfx to extract & copy certain files to C:\Documents and Settings\%userprofile%\Application Data ? in Windows XP / Vista / SevenThe sfx application requires a profile.xml file to be in the C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data folderOr do i need to create a .cmd file? If yes how?Please advise. Thanks ahead =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radix Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Select the files to add in a sfx archive, right click on selection->WinRAR->Add to archive...->check Create sfx archive->Advanced->SFX Options->in path to extract fill with %APPDATA%, click OK, click OK. Also you can adjust compression if necessary. Edited September 16, 2010 by radix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the reply radixI meant only the profile.xml file alone is extracted or copied to C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data folderThe rest of the files in SFX archive is extracted to the sfx default output folder - "program files" folderI don't know what additional sfx scripts commands is required to input on the sfx comment sectionOr create a run.cmd file to do the profile.xml file copying & add " /w run.cmd " without quotes after this sfx command script Setup=software.exeExample;Setup=software.exe /w run.cmdTempModeSilent=1Overwrite=1But I dont know what is command line is use to create the run.cmd file Edited September 16, 2010 by dub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

submix8c Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 ?Not sure about this, but you MAY need to wrap %appdata% with quotes, e.g. "%appdata%". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosProbie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 when using xcopy quotes is not always needed but is always a good practice to include them just in case of spaces in source path etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Really?C:\Documents and Settings\<username>>echo %appdata%-Result is:C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Datain Windows XP / Vista / SevenThat would apply to 2K and 2K3 (what I did it on) as well. It will be different for Vista/7 - the result will beC:\Users\<username>\Appdata\Roaming(performed on Win7 Home Premium).IOW, "xcopy" will NOT run with blanks in the name, hence wrapping in quotes. P.S., you will need a backslash and whatever filenames\folders (however you do it) immediately following the VariableName ("%appdata\<somethinghere>%") within the quotes. S.O.P.
