FileInstall not working Topic is solved

[jsong55]

Code: Select all

Run("C:\Users\meuser\OneDrive\AHK\Icon\whatsapp.ico") ; to prove the file exists and the path is correct
FileInstall("C:\Users\meuser\OneDrive\AHK\Icon\whatsapp.ico", A_ScriptDir "\Icons\whatsapp.ico",0)

Simple but just not sure why I get

Error Failed

I'm running it not compiled. Thanks

The icon may already exist at the destination location. In this case set the 'overwrite' parameter to 1.

Cheers

Thank you 1 works.

though I thought it will be ignored in uncompiled mode. or I read the help files wrongly?

[TAC109]

Under error handling for FileInstall it says

Any case where the file cannot be written to the destination is considered failure. For example:
The destination file already exists and the Overwrite parameter was 0 or omitted.
…

Edit: Error handling is the same regardless of whether the script is run directly or compiled.

Cheers
