Question
How do I make an install that uses "Sticky Folders"

Answer
In Setup Factory 6.0 there is an option to have a sticky folder. This feature would append a folder to the selected install folder. This is not a built in feature in Setup Factory 7.0 but the workaround is quite easy.

In The "Select Install Folder" screen -> Actions -> "On Next" event add this code in between these 2 lines:

if(g_IsValidPath(strInstallFolderPath)) then
   -- insert the code at the end here
   -- if there's enough space on the selected drive, proceed to the next screen
   if(_SpaceAvailable >= _SpaceRequired) then
      -- This code will make a sticky folder
      -- Expand the session variable
      AppFolder = SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%");
      -- Append the sticky folder name to this result
      AppFolder = AppFolder.."\\StickyFolderName";
      -- And set the variable back to a Session variable.
      SessionVar.Set("%AppFolder%",AppFolder);
   end
end
