I have a very simple problem: How do i create the folder "c:\\cap"?

I've tried just about anything now, with no luck :(

I use Create Folder, but none of the below creates the folder

Create Folder c:\\CAP
Create Folder c:\\\\CAP
Create Folder c:\\\\CAP\\I've also tried creating the folder in $TARGETDIR$ and some of the other predefindes dirs, with same result

You just need to make sure you are testing after Apply Install. Nothing will happen until Apply Install is called. This is unfortunately a Windows Installer limitation.

Ahhhh I used Create Folder after Apply Install.

Moved it up before Apply Install and it works like a charm, Thx :)
