G5How to move a folder setting new path installano application

Fri Feb 16, 2024 6:00 pm

Hi

I've a folder named Archive and by default it is a appdir's sub folder. During installazione i should change the folder path and change it's name.

I've created this user property

ARCHIVE = [Appdir]\Archive

But during install i've this error: the folder Appdir]\Rchive does not exist.

So can simeone tell me step by ste how to create the folder in project, link it to a variable and how to set it's value with the desired inizial path ?

I'm using the last version of Advanced Installer Enteprise.

Thank's advance

Gianluca

Hello Gianluca,

If you created a property based folder based on the ARCHIVE property, then you should set that property using a "Set property" custom action, in the "Custom Actions" page.

The custom action should be scheduled right after the "Searches" action group.

Additionally, please note that APPDIR should be all uppercase characters.

Best regards,
