So how does the .SCAPP files work? I created a ZIP file and renamed to .SCAPP and apparently that does not work. I was not able to find a reference in the online knowledge base.

It executes the first file in the zip alphabetically, so say you have a .scapp file containing:
firstRun.bat
tool.exe
All .scapp contents will be opened into the same directory but firstRun.bat will be executed. You can invoke actions upon other tools within the .scapp via firstRun.bat (such as moving to another directory before execution). |

ok - so there has to be a BAT file first. cannot be an EXE.

I don't believe it has to be a BAT file, that's just the only way I've personally tested it. If you want to send me your .scapp I'd be happy to take a look.

it worked with the BAT file as the first file. it did not work with 2 EXEs by themselves. I have not tried anything else like a VP or such. But i like the new feature. will be very useful

FYI when using SCAPP extension it has to be lower case otherwise it will not work. Also it seems that the scapp file only can handle two files in it. the batch file to run the other file. any other file in the zip is not seen for some reason. example 1_test.BAT - file that runs test.VBS TEST1.BAT 1_test.BAT runs the TEST1.VBS file, but then cannot find the TEST1.BAT file. And this is without changing directories. I cannot even have the the 1_TEST.BAT file copy the two files into another directory. Edited by user Thursday, June 16, 2016 12:29:47 PM(UTC)

@Matt Highsmith I've replicated the lack of support if the file extension is upper case and I'll make sure it gets registered.
What is the code in your 1_test.BAT file? The .scapp files should be able to handle multiple files within the .scapp itself, we have a bit of an internal prank war going and I wrote a tool that changes the user's wallpaper but also installs a Scheduled task calling back to separate application that continues to change the wallpaper back at set intervals. All contained, there are 4 files within the .scapp. |

ok - I was not using a path due to the file being put in an location that might differentiate between users. but it finds the first file, but not the rest. I will continue to work on that then.

verified if i copy *.* to a folder it will copy each file. I can then run the processes from that folder.
