CopyFiles

The Copyfiles key, under the [DefaultInstall] section, is required and describes the default files to copy to the target device.

destination_filename,[source_filename],[,flags]
[destination_filename,[source_filename],[,flags]]

Parameters

  • destination_filename
    This specifies the destination filename.
  • source_filename
    This is optional if it is identical to destination_filename.
  • flags
    This contains a numeric value which specifies an action to be done while copying files.

The following table shows the values that are supported by Windows CE.
