Red face Installer under WorkBench 1.3

Hello there o/

I try to create installer script and got a problem.

For example, I am trying to copy all files from WB floppy to disk:

Code:
(copyfiles
	(source "WorkBench1.3:")
	(dest "DH0:")
	(files)
	(pattern "#?")
)
All files are copied including *.info files. Everything is fine.

Then I create a subdirectory and try to copy the files as well:

Code:
(copyfiles
	(source "WorkBench1.3:Prefs")
	(dest "DH0:Prefs")
	(files)
	(pattern "#?")
)
All files are copied except *.info

And I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong?
Maybe I'm not setting the correct pattern for copying files?

I've tried various pattern variations and even try that:

Code:
(pattern "#?.info")
But not one *.info file was copied

Maybe it's some kind of problem with the old version of the installer?
Or a bug under WorkBench1.3?

Unfortunately newer versions don't work under WorkBench1.3 so I have to use installer 1.24 (1.9.92)

DOpus 4.11 comes with a 1.3-compatible Installer and script. Check the syntax in that for how it copies files.

Thanks, I already spied on the WorkBench 2.x installer and wrote (all) instead of the pattern

Code:
(copyfiles
	(source "WorkBench1.3:")
	(dest "DH0:")
	(all)
)
