[WD23] - Copy an internal file
October 09, 2018 11:36AM
Hi All

Is there a way to include a TXT file in a project and then be able to copy that file to a folder on the users machine when they run my program? I want to include a EULA file in the project which I can update from time to time.

Hi JP

if you are using the built in installer, the re is a step for a license file that does exactly that

No, want/need to do this from inside my project/running exe. Any way to do that?

Hi again,

yes you can...

You just need to add the file in the library (there is an option button for that when compiling) and then use fExtractResource when you want to read it/write it on disk: [doc.pcsoft.fr]
