put_OutputPath

Description

Sets the output path for the packed executable file. This specifies where the resulting single-file package created by BoxedApp Packer will be saved after the build process completes.

Syntax

HRESULT put_OutputPath([in] BSTR strPath);

Parameters

strPath
Type: BSTR
[in] The full or relative path for the output file that will be generated when the project is built. The directory must exist before calling IBxProject::Build.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT.

S_OK if the output path was successfully set.
E_INVALIDARG if the path is invalid or empty.
Other standard COM error codes on failure.

Example

CComPtr<IBxProject> project;
if (SUCCEEDED(BxPackerApi_CreateProject(&project))) {
    project->put_InputPath(CComBSTR(L"C:\\Apps\\MyApp.exe"));
    project->put_OutputPath(CComBSTR(L"C:\\Packed\\MyApp_Packed.exe"));
    // ... add virtual files, configure options, then build
}

Remarks

The output path determines where the packed executable or DLL will be written to disk.
Ensure that the directory exists and that the application has write permissions.
If a file already exists at the specified location, it may be overwritten during the build process.
You can retrieve the current output path using get_OutputPath.
