Keywords: Compiler OTHER FILES OTHERFILES Large Complete EXE skip auto-extraction
When using a Large Exe. The EXE looks for the WIL DLL it needs to run. It looks in the "current directory" and "on the system path". If the DLL is not found in either of these places, it writes the DLL to the current directory. If the directory is write protected, an error will occur.
The Other Files are also written to the current directory. If you would like to explicitly place the OTHER FILES somewhere other than the current directory....The Compiler contains an 'option' to skip auto-extraction of extenders and "other files" from large EXE's. See the ExtractAttachedFile() in your WinBatch.chm help file. ExtractAttachedFile allows you to programmatically extract an embedded files from a compiled large EXE (except the WIL DLL, it is always extracted from a large EXE, if necessary). Make sure you choose the skip auto-extraction option in the compiler if you want to control file extraction with ExtractAttachedFile.
