Copy files from advanced installer temp folder to another location

[Jis]

Hi,

While installing an aip, I want to copy a file in the advanced installer temp folder to my APPDIR. Could someone explain how I need to do this.

Thanks in advance,
Jis.

Hello,

This could be implemented in the following way:

1. Go to "Files and Folders" page and add a new temporary file to your project by Clicking on the "Add - Temporary Files" toolbar button.
2. Go to the "Application Folder" and create a new file copy operation by clicking on the "New - File Operation" and selecting "File copy/move" option.
3. Configure this operation in the following way:
- enter the file name of the temp file in the name field of the "Source File" section
- pick the Windows Volume -> Temporary folder in the "Folder" field of the "Source File" section
- enter the name of the file in the "Destination File" section. If you chose another file name, the destination file will be renamed
- select "Copy" from "Operation" field.

Best regards,
Sorin

Hi Sorin,

Thank you for the steps.

Then also I have a problem here. I am not able to add the file to the temp folder from the installer, because the file is created during the installer running. When I run the installer in the target machine, an exe added in the files and folder is called and as a result the file is created to the temp folder which I have to copy.

Thanks in advance,
Jis.

Thank you. I got the solution.
I got a script which helps to search for the temp folder and get the file, then do the copy operation.
