If mysound.wav is included in exe, then you can't copy it to disk with the
same name even if you included full path. Both Copy file and Strtofile will
fail. But you may copy it with different name. So I suggest you to include
file "mysound.wa_" into exe and then

strtofile(filetostr("mysound.wa_"),"tempdir\mysound.wav")

will do the work
