I need to store files in an EXE file via VB 2010 app. I mean, lets say I made a software called setmaker and one that is called setup.exe. I want setmaker to store some files that you choose in setup.exe, and then when you run setup.exe it reads the files that you stored in it and extracts it to a location specified by you.
The following post How to copy file From Resources? discusses a method for copying a file that is an Embedded resource in an EXE to a folder on disk.
Hope that helps.

What I want to do is to check the full logic someones else metabot that was uploaded to repository, or donwloaded from AAE BotStore.
When I'm creating my own metabot in Automation Anywhere I need to pass to AAE IDE dll file.
But when I'm uplaoding it to the server I'm uploading just Metabot without this dll file.
So to sum up I want to locate the dll file that is responsible for Metabot’s logic.
The DLL is actually stored in the .mbot file. If you find the .mbot file in the windows folder directory using Windows File explorer and rename the file extension to .zip from .mbot, you will see it is really a zip file and that inside that zip file is the dll files.
I believe you're being limited by your Control Room permissions. AAE has system defined permissions in this area, which are pre-configured during Control Room installation. For more details on this, please see AAE's supporting documentation. For example, if you were granted the "AAE_Meta Bot Designer" role in the Control Room you would be allowed to "access MetaBot Designer from AAE Client but not allowed to see any bots and/or supporting files."
I have a WinForms application that uses 3 .dll Application Extensions. Two of them come from the KBCsv csv file parser extension, and the third is the MySQL Data extension.
Currently these files are automatically stored in the project's Debug folder along with the application itself. When I move the application to an external location, I have to keep these extensions in the same folder as the application or I get an error like:
Could not load file or assembly 'KBCsv, Version....' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
It would tidy up the desired folder that the application is to be located in if I could store these extensions in one folder, inside that folder. Any guidance as to how I could achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
I have a problem with LabVIEW installer. I have a database which I communicate with using a udl file via LabVIEW. I also have other files for saving passwords etc. when I make setup file and install my program, I can not write to my files because they become read-only! I put .exe file in program file and my supporting files and database in Program Data.
The .exe program returns no error but does not write any data into files! what is the solution
Are you putting the database under "Program Files"? Try putting it under the user or public documents folder and you should be OK if that was the problem
I am creating a Flowgear workflow that needs to process a raft of XML data.
I have the xml data contained in a set of .xml files (approximately 400 files) in a folder on my local machine hard-drive and I want to read them into a workflow, run an XSLT transform and then write out the resultant XML to another folder on the same local hard-drive.
How do I get the flowgear workflow to read these files?
It depends on the use case, the File Enumerator works exceptionally well to loop (as in for-each) through each file. Sometimes, one wants to get a list of files in a particular folder and check whether a file has been found or not. For this, I would recommend a c# script to get a list of files with code:
Directory.GetFiles(#"{FilePath}", "*.{extension}", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);
Further on, use the File node to read, write, or delete files from a file directory.
NB! You will need to install a DropPoint on the PC/Server to allow access to the files. For more information regarding Drop Points, please click here
You can use a File Enumerator or File Watcher to read the files up. The difference is that a File Enumerator will enumerate all files in a folder once, the File Watcher will watch a folder indefinitely and provide new files to the workflow as they are copied into the folder.
You can then use the File node to write the files back the the file system.
I'm developing a Win 8 app and I would like to include a data file with the app. The data file will be unique for each user so it should really reside under /Users/(user)/AppData/Packages/(MyAppPackage)
Is is possible to do that with a deployment/installation package, and if so how?
Thanks.
As far as I know, CMIIW,
You cannot include the data file which your package, unless you put your data file in the application directory / installed directory, then after the first run, you can move it (the data file) to the /Users/(user)/AppData
I believe you will not save sensitive data to the Users/(user)/AppData, since the user can access to the folder with Windows Explorer easily, or if you must save it to AppData, I suggest you to encrypt your data first.
