Do you mean make a setup program that will install files and folders into a certain directory? Or do you just mean make a button and on click will move so and so files to a directory?

CopyFile()
but I strongly recommend you use MSIs else you will have some problems when people try to install your programs in vista+, but even if you aren't targetting that platform, you should support having a standard installation system, resembling linux's package managing system, makes it easier for everyone. |

Could you give me the full line?
Like:
CopyFile('aouisfdnaoifun.exe') to ('C:/')
Or something?

| FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL is 0x80 which is true but you might have to typecast it to a BOOL, you should just say true or false to avoid confusion. |

Parameters...
| Code: | BOOL CopyFile(

LPCTSTR lpNewFileName,
BOOL bFailIfExists
); |
In use...
| Code: | | CopyFile('C:/WOWomg.TXT','C:/WOWomg2.TXT',FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL) |
|
I try doing | Code: | | CopyFile('C:/WOWomg.TXT','C:/WOWomg2.TXT',FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL) |
But it says:
[Error] Unit1.pas(2 : Incompatible types: 'LongBool' and 'Integer'
[Fatal Error] Project1.dpr(5): Could not compile used unit 'Unit1.pas'
I know i'm a horrible n00b Delphi programmer, but I just started so no flame pl0x.

change FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL to 1 if you don't want to overwrite WOWomg2.TXT if it exists or 0 if you do want to overwrite.
edit: and you should really read my posts.
edit2: and learn to troubleshoot problems independantly |
