Creating Custom Target Folders

[tltaylor76]

I found the section in the help topic that indicates that a custom Target Folder cannot be created . So maybe you can help figure out how to accomplish this:

I have two root folders that files need to be copied to. One is the TARGETDIR and another will be a folder that houses data. This may or may not be a network drive. I have the dialogs created and working to get the path to each of folders and I have a variable called SHAREDDIR that contains the path to the second folder which I wanted to create a Target folder for.

So how do I setup the install to copy files to the SHAREDDIR path that I have created? I looked at the Shared Folders option, but I did not see how this would help me here....though I could just not be "getting" it. Thanks in advance for you help!

I have found a work around, but you cannot use the Visual editor...and it is not as straight forward. Since I already have determined my paths and folders, I just manually called the Install Files command in the MSI script. This is the same thing that the Visual editor does anyway. It just creates the MSI script that calls the Install Files command.

So it is possible, just not through the Visual editor.
