Hi,
I haven't played with MSI Factory since it was released, only making a few simple MSI installs using default settings.
But now I have a project that needs some custom settings and I can't seem to find any info about it in the help files or on this forum (the new forum is very difficult to search effectively, the old one was better).
The Problem:
I am creating a package that installs a product and as part of the installation, after the user selects the install path I want to have a dialog that askes for a path to the databasefile. A dialog that is a copy of the InstallDir dialog.
I then want to take the path in the database selection and save it to a sting that I can save in a lua script file that will be installed with the rest of the application, sort of a preconfiguration step, done directly in the installation.
Any Ideas about this?
My first setup was to make the installed application check for this sting on first run and if it was not set then set it. The application is build in AMS
But the client wants if posible this step to take place in the msi installation process.
Any help is much apreziated..
Kind regards,
Jonas
