User profile location (how to file copy or move)

[Kasito]

Hello I'm having a challenge, My challenge is in AMS; I want programmatically move or copy a folder from app rootfolder to User profile location on client computer.
C:\\Users\YourName\\file.dat

Can this be possible with a variable like %UserProfile%

Or is it possible in setup factory? Though, I would prefer this in AMS.

I will appreciate any support with example if possible.

Thanks.

you can just use Folder Action DLL (FldrActn.dll)

select = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Select a Folder:", _DesktopFolder);
destination = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Please select a folder:", _FesktopFolder.."\\destfolder");
DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\FldrActn.dll", "MoveFolder", "\"" .. sel .. "\"" .. ",\"" .. dest .. "\",1,1", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)

DLL Export Functions

ops syntax error

that's right

sel = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Select a Folder:", _DesktopFolder);
dest = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Select a folder:", _DesktopFolder.."\\destfolder");
DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\FldrActn.dll", "MoveFolder", "\"" .. sel .. "\"" .. ",\"" .. dest .. "\",1,1", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)

Hi Kasito,
Here is a link to a Demo that will move your app from program files to user profile roaming.
It first creates a folder then with button click moves to user's folder , please note on closing will delete folders from computer
Page 2 contains how to use a dll file to show special folders and also there is a button to extract apz with full code
