I am attempting to fileinstall a file that when checked for existance, returns A for being Archived. This causes errorlevel to be set on fileinstall. Is this normal, and if so, is there a workaround?

This version of the code resets the attribute to N, but still the problem persists. Then I read "Note: Currently, the compression state of files cannot be changed with this command. " in the FileSetAttrib section of the help. and if the file is archived, its compessed, so does the compression cause the error?

AFAIK the A attribute doesn't mean that a file is archived or compressed, but that it "needs" to be archived, since it has been changed/created. BackUp software would remove this attribute to mark it as processed. This way incremental backups are created. Thus I guess this isn't the problem for your FileInstall

Well what is, I copyed the paths for Param1 from the browser window so I couldnt get them wrong, double checked file names, doublechecked the second param for double \\ and so on, I have scoured this code a hundred times and found nothing. I have also tested FileInstall to make sure it wasnt buggy. Whats else can I do?

I read your code and couldn't find any bug. What is the exact problem?

FileInstall Sets Error level, and it never occurs, causeing the fileappend to fail aswell

When we ask to show "some" code, we mean something showing the evidence of the problem, or, since you report it there, of the bug.
Often, isolating such problem with some lines shows that the problem may be between the chair and the keyboard...

I have not experience of FileInstall, but I find strange the line following them (FileInstall and FileAppend), starting with %InstallPath%.
If you intend to break the line in two for readability purposes (which is a good idea), you should put the comma at the start of the new line.

PS.: "Lisence and product discription" should be "Licence and product description"

here is a shorted version

Code:

Gui, Add, Edit, vInstallPath gInstallPath r1 readonly w200, Path 
Gui, Add, Button, vBrowse gBrowse, Browse 
Gui, Add, Button, vInstall gInstall x+2, Install 
Gui, Show,, AutoHotkey User Function Library Installer 
Return 
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Browse: 
  SplitPath, A_AhkPath, , AhkDir 
  FileSelectFolder, SelectedDir, *%AhkDir%, 3 
  If SelectedDir
      GuiControl, , InstallPath, %SelectedDir% 
Return 
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Install: 
  Gui, Submit, NoHide 
  If not FileExist(InstallPath) 
     Return 
  
  FileInstall, C:\Program Files\AutoHotKey\#Include\Functions\Misc\MemGetStats.ahk, %InstallPath%\#Include\Functions\Misc\MemGetStats.ahk, 1 
  
  FileInstall, C:\Program Files\AutoHotKey\#Include\Functions\Struc\AhkStrucLib.ahk, %InstallPath%\#Include\Functions\Struc\AhkStrucLib.ahk, 1 
  
  FileAppend, #Include %InstallPath%\#Include\Functions\Struc\AhkStrucLib.ahk, %InstallPath%\#Include\Functions\Misc\MemGetStats.ahk 
Return 

*not tested*

I guess the InstallPath that is selected doesn't have the dirs:
\#Include\Functions\Struc
\#Include\Functions\Misc
I guess these have to be created first, because a filecopy might not copy a file if the path doesn't exist. and a filecopy is used for not compiled scripts in case of a FileInstall.

Creating the dirs makes all the difference! thank you so much toralf! But I think that the fact they must be created in advance is dumb! Can that be changed Chris? thanks

It could be changed, but it might break existing scripts that want the command to fail when the directories do not exist. To avoid this, a new option would have to be added to FileInstall. However, since that change seems like it would be used by fewer than 1% of users, it seems too low in priority to add to the to-do list.
