moving files

[marlboroman]

hello from me

I've been experimenting with WPI and after a bit of trail and error I've worked out how to use it to install programs and I've got to say it's amazing How fast programs install totally hassle free It's a great bit of programming.

I am however a bit stuck with what to do with .exe files that just run and don't need to be installed I'm not good at dos commands but I have tried following and a few more but am getting nowhere with it.

C:\Program Files\C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components\lame.exe"

above is the path I want to send it to so I tryed

"%CDROM%\work folder\WPI\Install\FILECOPY\C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components\lame.exe"

"%CDROM%\work folder\WPI\Install\FILECOPY\foobar2000\components\lame.exe"

"%CDROM%\work folder\WPI\Install\foobar2000\components\lame.exe"

"%CDROM%\\Install\foobar2000\components\lame.exe"

and so forth

If any one could educated me on Werther this is even possible to move files using WP1 and if so how It would be much appreciated

ps sorry for being a tool

You can use the built-in FILEMOVE or FILECOPY command to move/copy files. Both commands are used the same way. If you are trying to move files from a CD to the HDD then you will need to use FILECOPY since you cannot move files from read-only media.

Syntax:	 FILECOPY [source] [destination]

Examples:
	 //copy all files in CopyFiles folder to components folder
	 FILECOPY "%WPIPATH%\Install\CopyFiles\*.*" "C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components"

	 //copy lame.exe to components folder
	 FILECOPY "%WPIPATH%\Install\CopyFiles\lame.exe" "C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components"

Make sure you use quotations for any paths that contain spaces, and that your destination folder exists (use MAKEDIR command to create a directory).
