InstallAware

Hi,
I would like to edit an ini file wich will be installed. But I read I can't call Edit Ini file after the Apply Install command because this is a Windows Installer command.

Should I call Edit Ini File command before Apply install (in the DEFINE WEB MEDIA bloc ?) using SFXPATH valiable, to edit my ini file?

I would like something like that.



But this doesn't work !

Can you help please ?

Thanks

Move your edits before the apply install but after the file installation.

As in:

Thanks Jimo,

but this doen't work. I think it's because MyIniFile.opt isn't copied to local system until the script call Apply Install.

In fact the test "Does File exist $TARGETDIR$/../MyIniFile.opt" return FALSE before I call "Apply Install" but TRUE after.

I use this all the time,

I install my ini files then use Edit INI File

Here is an excerpt from one of my functioning scripts

Thanks Jimo for your help.
That works !

BUT ... My Ini file contains a checksum and I would like to calculate the new checksum when the file will be copied, and Edit the file to update a value.

I'm developping a plugin in order to calculate the new check sum.
I hope I would be able to edit my ini file just after the last editions.

I saw a "File contains a checksum" check box in the file properties, but I don't know how to use it.

Does anybody know more about this option?

The checksum option is for when you're installing files. From what I understand you are storing the INI checksum as part of the INI file itself, so that's not what you're looking for.
