Automatically copy file to Output-folder during compiling

Hi,

My setup uses 2 external setup-files, which I start using the Run Program function.

These file must be stored in a sub directory of the original setup like this:

Code: Select all

\\\\{Servername}\\{Share}\\BMA\\Mosos\\Setup\\MososSetup.msi (this is the main setup)

\\\\{Servername}\\{Share}\\BMA\\Mosos\\Setup\\Components\\dotnetfx.exe
\\\\{Servername}\\{Share}\\BMA\\Mosos\\Setup\\Components\\msxml6.msi


When I Compile my project I need to add these file manually to this sub directory.
Is there a way so the IA Compiler adds these file for me in the output folder?

Sorry, no.
You may use a batch file to call the command line build tool, miabuild.exe, and then add the other copy commands.
Additionally, InstallAware is supported by most build utilities, such as NAnt and FinalBuilder.

I can highly recommend Finalbuilder. Have a look at http://www.finalbuilder.com
