Creating a folder and copying file to user's drive.

[walter]

Hi, I'm new to AMS and I need to do this "simple" thing. After reading a lot of posts here, I've come to the conclusion that it isn't so "simple". Can any help me? I need to copy a program file and its help file from the CD to a folder on the user's hard drive.

Thanks

Hi,
AutoPlay does not have any built-in "File Operations," which means that AutoPlay cannot create directories or copy files on its own.
What AutoPlay can do is execute a file that does have this functionality. So, for example you could create an installation (using Setup Factory http://www.indigorose.com/setup/index.html ) called SETUP.EXE, which will install the required files onto your users system. Then you would use AutoPlay to execute the SETUP.EXE.
