trouble with copyfiles
i've been struggling with trying to get copyfiles to work properly. I know it has to be something ridiculous like a different syntax for my situation. I've tried many possibilities within my knowledge but trial and error is very long because my block of copyfiles is in the middle of an already maxed out install script.
for starters, I can't wrap them into the installer because they are very large video files, and i already have a large amount of videos already wrapped into the installer. I would love to mess with this and try to figure it out on my own, but i have a close approaching deadline to meet. here is my existing (relevant portion of) script:
Name "${PRODUCT_NAME} ${PRODUCT_VERSION}"othere things i've tried:
OutFile "E:\autorun test\setup.exe"
InstallDir "C:\Course Material"
