Custom install folder

[Érico]

Hi,

I need the setup to install in a custom folder but that folder can't be changed by the user. Ex: C:\program name. How do I do that?

Can't you set the %AppFolder% variable at the beginning and not display the Select Install Folder screen. That is what I do. We do this for our demos. I hard code it for c:\ecldemo.

For my other installs, I only display the Select Drive Screen then assign %AppFolder% to the selected drive that was selected with the folder name.

In SF6 on each file I assign the destination %SelectedDrive%\ECLDEMO.

I have not updated my scripts to SF7 yet.

Thats what im trying to do but the setting of the %AppFolder% variable did not work. Can you post the code?

[GalacTek]

SF7 is new to me to, Under Project, Session Variables, did you put the path in the %AppFolder%?

Are you referring to files you are trying to install to a specific folder? If so, why not just hard-code the destination folder in the file properties? Or use %AppFolder% in file properties if you want to be more flexible.

%AppFolder% is defined in session variables which you can change to either use in-built variables, hard-code or a combination of both.
