Hi Friedrich

What would be the best way to copy the SB installation program into an
application subfolder?

The aim is this: After a program has been installed on the server, the SB
installation program needs to copy itself into a subfolder on the server,
then when the program is installed on workstations rather than carry around
a CD, the SB installation program can be run from the server subfolder.

The three thoughts I have is to
1. Create a copy of the completed install file and then link it into itself
as another file to install.
2. Get the user to copy the install file into server subfolder they want it
in manually.
3. Have some script command which will copy the installation program into
the server subfolder after everything else has finished being installed.

If no3, would it be better to create a seperate program called from SB or
could this be done from the script facilities in SB?

Cheers

Richard

Hi Richard,

I have developed a demo script for you (see attached project and code
screenshot).

The installer provides an option to copy itself to c:\test at the end of the
installation process. This is a simple example. Of course, you can prompt
for the folder name, etc.

Does this help?

Friedrich
