Hello Sebastian,

I am not quite sure I fully understand your question here.

Do you have a ZIP file in APPDIR and you want to extract that at install time?

if so, we can use the "Extract Archive" operation.

Extract Archive Dialog

If this is not what you meant, please give me some more details (maybe even exemplify through some screenshots) and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
Catalin

Hi,

I have a ZIP file near the EXE folder and I want to unpack it to APPDIR with a script.
What scripting language and directive should I use?




best regards
Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Assuming you want to do that before building your project, if you want to automate that, you can use PowerShell to extract the archive and then add the files to APPDIR via our PowerShell COM automation support.

IFilesComponent

Let me know if you have any other questions and I will gladly assist.
