Recursive use of CopyFiles (File /r without having to put all the file inside the exe
im making an installation for a cdrom that can be run directly from the cd or from the harddrive ..i tested two method of installing everything..

using SetOutPath/File compress and inserts everything inside the exe leading to a duplication of the data on the same cd..

using CopyFiles would take a long time since theres approximatly 500files to install..

i am now looking at making a function to copy recursivly . but im wondering if there is something already out to do this faster..

it would save me valuable time if somebody could help me on this.

Since CopyFiles uses SHFileOperation it's possible to do things like

Name "Test"
Outfile "Test.exe"

Section "Test"
CopyFiles "D:\TEST\*" "C:\"
SectionEnd
