I was reading through the XML of the .sf8 for one of my setups to make sure that there were no stray path entries. I came across the <BaseFolderArchive> entry which has a hard-coded path in it. Can that path be changed from within the SF8 UI? If not, is it safe to change it directly in the...

I have tried to use the File.Rename() command but the script would grow to be quite long if I tried it this way. Tried to use the File.Copy .. where the source files are going to be copied to the...

Hi, We are using version 8.1.1008 and we seem to have some problems with the "Require administrator" setting. In short it seems that it does not always work! That sometimes people actually get to run our setup.exe without administyrtive priviledges. In short we think this settings ought to...

When I add a folder to Setup Factor 8 (with recursion), it adds most of the files to the archive ... but, it seems to miss (or ignore) recursing directories that start with a "." (period). So, if I have a folder called ".settings", it seems to be skipped. I can add the files in it, but it would...
