How to copy Folders from Install CD?

[Angelfire48]

Hi!

I just need to know how I can make nLite copy some Folders to my Desktop during installation. I tried the following runOnceEx, but it didn't work!

@echo off

echo copie de dossiers

echo

COPY "%SOURCE%\Apps\Bureau" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau\"

echo.

(Bureau is the word for Desktop in french!)

I also tried the same thing with the XCopy command, but in vain. Notice that I need to copy a whole directory, and not a single file!

plz Help, if u can, and if u want!

Is %SOURCE% set somewhere else? That looks more like a batch file than something your would put in runonceex. Are you calling the batch file from runonceexe?

xcopy is what you use for directories

You can use $OEM$ folder. Read here.

But I would choose to build an addon using inf file.

hi there, make the folowing folder path on the cd/dvd:

$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Bureau

Then choose OEM preinstall, that way everything you put inside that folder will appear on desktop.

I know that you've allready gotten an alternative solution, but to answer your original question, then use this in nLite's 'Runonce' tab:

@xcopy %source%Apps\Bureau "%allusersprofile%\Bureau\" /eh >nul
