Copy a file

[Tischnoetentoet]

Hi all,

In my installation, I need to copy a file:

I do this with the next line, but it doesn't work

copy %systemdrive%\install\Winrar\Rarreg.reg %ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\Rarreg.reg

I hope you know what the problem is!

Thanks

try

copy "%systemdrive%\install\Winrar\Rarreg.reg %ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\Rarreg.reg"

or even

copy "%systemdrive%\install\Winrar\Rarreg.reg" "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\Rarreg.reg"

or you could just put in in your $OEM$\$1\install\winrar directory. It will automatically be copied over that way.

This statement could be a litte misleading. Simply placing the file within the $OEM$ folder structure does not garauntee that the file will be copied over to the systemdrive. This would only happen if OEMPreinstall=Yes in the winnt.sif/unattended.txt file.

I already put it in the install directory, but then it is copied to the install directory on the harddisk, but I want it to copy to program files directory!

I'll try the one with "" "" around the paths

Thanks

try to use $OEM$\$Progs$\ for that. details in the unattended guide.

well, that's ok when you want to copy a file at the beginning of the installation, but I want to copy this file after an install, and the install is runned at GUIRunOnce.cmd

So, I don't think it helps if I put the file in the $Progs folder...

But maybe I'm wrong....

Thanks for replying anyway!

%PROGRAMFILES% has to be surrounded in quotes as suggested earlier in this thread even though it doesn't have spaces. But, the environment variable resolves into X:\Program Files, which does have spaces.
