How do I create a file to extract to multiple subfolders?
Posted by ELTERROR on May 17th, 2006


I hope anyone can help me out on this one:

I would like to create a self extracting file (either an exe or a zip
file) that will extract files to multiple sub directories. For example:

I want all the files from C:\XYZ\*.* to be either .zip or in a .exe

I then want to take the compressed file and run it on other machine to
extract the files to
C:\Program Files\APP\A
C:\Program Files\APP\B
C:\Program Files\APP\C
any & all subfolders under C:\Program Files\APP

So I will have:
C:\Program Files\APP\A\XYZ\*.*
C:\Program Files\APP\B\XYZ\*.*
C:\Program Files\APP\C\XYZ\*.*
etc...

Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Thanks!
JC

That the normal way of working. Just use windows. Just put the folder structure in the zip.

Thanks David,

That's the catch, not every machine has the same folder structure....
The target folders all need to have this "one" folder updated.
