Copy Files Strategy

Postby Doron » Mon Nov 27, 2006 5:03 pm

Hi,

Copy Local File does not work as described in the below thread named: "Copy command does not work for me" found at:
http://forums.installaware.com/viewtopi ... 1fd31d5a78

After all files are installed I need to copy 11 files that were installed into a Distribution folder which is under the $TARGETDIR$.

Now one way is re-installing the same files into the Distribution folder but that means that the same file will need to be copied into the installation file twice, once for the WinSys32 folder and one for the $TARGETDIR$\\Distribution folder.

Beside using Windows API is there another way to implement the above?

Regards,

Doron

What you can do is, call Copy Local Files after Apply Install executes, and then call Apply Install for a second time after the Copy Local Files statement.
