Function Reference

FileInstall

Include and install a file with the compiled script.

FileInstall ( "source", "dest" [, flag] )

Parameters

source	The source path of the file to compile. This must be a literal string; it cannot be a variable.
dest	The destination path with trailing backslash. This can be a variable.
flag	[optional] this flag determines whether to overwrite files if they already exist: 0 = (default) do not overwrite existing files 1 = overwrite existing files

Return Value

Success:	Returns 1.
Failure:	Returns 0.

Remarks

The FileInstall function is designed to include files into a compiled AutoIt script. These included files can then be "extracted" during execution of the compiled script. Keep in mind that files such as images can greatly increase the size of a compiled script.
The source file must be a string and not a variable so that the compiler can extract the filename to include. The source cannot contain wildcards.

When this function is used from a non-compiled script, a copy operation is performed instead (to allow for easy testing pre-compilation).
Files maintain their original creation/modification timestamps when installed.
