Check if file exists at compile time

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

In a web update I would like to include some exes only when needed. Problem
is that I also have code to embed vista manifest and code sign which throws
an fatal compiler error if the file doesn't exist. Basically what I need
is:

#if FileExist(C:\Products\MyProduct Web\Latest\Programs\MyExe')
#embed UAC manifest
#code-sign application
#endif

That way I can place any one of 5 exes into the production folder and
compile it without errors. I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any
ideas?

Best regards,

STOP STOP STOP!
Don't give him any more stuff to add for the next month! LOL... (although
that could be a useful compiler directive).

I just tried a quick test with the #getfileinfo directive. It returns -1
when the file isn't found (pic).
Maybe you could use that?

No problem, it was just a question not a request<g>

I'll look into it. I just commented the ones I don't need out for now, but
it would be cool to be able to do a quick check, particularly for webupdate
where I'm basically using *.* for files in this particular install.

Best regards,

Hmm, NNTP server always timed-out during the post process. Now the message
appears six times. Sorry for that.
