Archive: Extract and copy a folder
Extract and copy a folder
I need, during the install process, to extract an archive and copy a subfolder of it in another directory. The archive path is given during the wizard by an user selection (I'll also implement it later).
To extract the archive (that is a self-extracting archive) I run it with command line parameters, but the problem is to copy (and overwrite) a subfolder of it in a different directory.
So you've gotten as far as extracting the archive, if I understand correctly. Now you want to take a subfolder from the extracted archive, and overwrite some other existing folder.
Have you tried the CopyFiles command?
I'm not sure if you need to, given your goals, but the existing folder that you are going to replace, could first be deleted/renamed before you copy over the new directory. Depending on whether you want to merge/replace versus recreate.
Solved.. thanks!
