wildcards in INNO

Hi,

I want to create the following and have no idea how to do:

On the deployed CD of my software is a setup.exe (INNO) and a file named
meier.lic, on another CD this file could be named miller.lic. Now I have
no idea to tell INNO in the [RUN]-section to copy *.lic into
{app}-directory. Does anybody know the correct syntax to do that?

Hi,

files will be copied with the files section

Source: {scr}\meier.lic; DestDir: {app}; DestName: MyFile.lic; Flags:
OnlyIfExists

[Run]
Name: {app}\MyFile.lic.....

I see this so I cant at this moment give more info...

See also Files and Run section in Inno Help file.

Info:
sorry but my server doesnt work yet.
So here in germany it is catastrophe with a lot of snow...
So all cable defect of my provider they worked on this.

Cant also not connect in this time to Internet so I write this on other
computer for let you know.

Sorry...

Hi Jonny,

don't worry, I can wait :-) At first you should have a warm flat, a cold
bottle of beer and a healthy family. My silly question really have time.
I have informations about the snow chaos in the netherlands and north
west germany and I am glad to hear from you.

May be I didn't write right the problem I have. I know the file section
in the described "normal" function.

But now:

CD1:
<root>
AUTORUN.INF
SETUP.EXE
MEIER.LIC

CD2:
AUTORUN.INF
SETUP.EXE
MUELLER.LIC

CD3:
AUTORUN.INF
SETUP.EXE
LEHMANN.LIC

The setup.exe should be everytime the same like on CD 1. And setup.exe
has all information to put mueller.lic or meier.lic into the right
target directory.

So I am looking for a "wildcard" function in INNO like this:

Source: {scr}\*.lic; DestDir: {app}; DestName: *.lic; Flags:
OnlyIfDoesntExists

or anything else.

Any idea?

Best regards, I am praying for a warm springtime a.s.a.p ;-)

Hi,

Inet all worked yet they make good work ;-)

Source: {scr}\*.lic; DestDir: {app}; Flags: OnlyIfDoesntExists
- This worked inside Files section.
- DestName doesnt be included the name of source is the default ;)

When it is only one Lic on CD then you can also two scriptlines for call
inside Run ;-)
Like:
[Files]
....
Source: {scr}\*.lic; DestDir: {app}
Source: {scr}\*.lic; DestDir: {tmp}; DestName: MyFile.ic

[Run]
Filename: {tmp}\MyFile.ic.....

Jonny
