[manhit45]

I have a font FREE3OF9. (BARCODE FONT).
I want when user run my program, the Font automatic install on their machine.
So i want to copy that font to C disk of user :

    Dim binWriter = New IO.BinaryWriter(IO.File.Create("C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\FREE3OF9.TTF"))
                    binWriter.Write(My.Resources.FRE3O)
                    binWriter.Close()
                    Process.Start("C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\FREE3OF9.TTF")

I use above code but it is error.
I import that font to my resoures .
And i want to copy that font in my resoure to "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts" of USER .

HOW CAN I DO THAT ?

You say it errors, what's the error? My mind reading skills don't work through the Internet (or well at all for that matter), so can you inform us of the error?

You don't need a binarywriter, you can just use copy file:

System.IO.File.Copy(My.Resources.FRE3O, "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\FREE3OF9.TTF")

You don't need a binarywriter, you can just use copy file:

System.IO.File.Copy(My.Resources.FRE3O, "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\FREE3OF9.TTF")

NO, I tried it. BUT IT IS ERROR. BECAUSE the file in resource is not string type.
