Copying files

d347hm4n · 8th November 2011, 15:34

Pretty simple really, I have a folder which is next to my output Setup.exe I want to copy all of the files from that folder into my installation directory:

code:


CreateDirectory "$INSTDIR\XML"

CopyFiles "XML\*.xml" "$INSTDIR\XML"

Doesn't work, keeps saying copying failed.

What am I doing wrong?

Don't use a relative source path; use $EXEDIR.
