How to Install zero byte version of files in folder?

[edunwat]

Hi,
I'm trying to install a folder full of files to a target system, where each file is written as a zero byte file, but using a directory listing on the Build PC at compile time as the list of file names to create on the target.

I'm currently doing this by distributing & installing the original files using
File '<Path>\*.ext'

... then using a loop with FindFirst / Delete / FileOpen / FileClose / FindNext to delete & create blank versions of the same files.

This works, but is not very elegant and bloats out the installer by having to distribute the full files.

Without having to maintain a list of file names in the script, is there an easier way?

Cheers
Duncan

You can use !system to call a batch file that generates a list and/or code you can include.
