I had a project that was built for InstallAware 9 R3 that used a relative path for a File Bag: ..\ABC\*.*
When I tried running that project under InstallAware X3, I got "Error! No files matching wildcard pattern ..\ABC\*.*"
If I substitute an absolute path the project compiles, but due to the way we structure our installs I'd prefer it if I could use a relative path there. Is this no longer supported? Do I have to use a different base for the path? In the past it seemed like the base for the path was the location of the project file.
Relative path for File Bag?

Re: Relative path for File Bag?
Dear Andrew,
as reported by the File Bag documentation, the command wants "The full path, including wildcards, to the files to include with the setup".
You may use a custom compiler variable, but in any case, this must point to the full path.
Hope this helps you.

Re: Relative path for File Bag?
Thanks for the reply. The issue is that I was previously able to use a relative path (back in InstallAware 9R2) -- is that no longer supported?

Re: Relative path for File Bag?
Unfortunately, as I said, only "full paths" are allowed.
