ExtractAndRun

Extract a file that is attached (encoded) inside a script to a temporary location, run the file, and then delete it.

Syntax

ExtractAndRun,<%ScriptFile%>,<Folder>,<Filename>[,<parameters>] 

Optional run parameters can be defined. They must not contain spaces, quotes or commas. Use the escaped form of these characters (i.e. #$s, #$q, #$c ) instead. It is useful when you only wish to run a file for a very specific purpose and this way avoid having to add extra commands to

  1. extract the file
  2. execute the file extracted
  3. clean up (i.e. delete the extracted file)

Example:

Using this syntax we will extract myApp.exe to a temporary location and then delete this file when it has finished running.

ExtractAndRun,C:\myFile.script,Folder,myApp.exe
