Support Files with same name.

Post by Rand »

I install several third party support apps that have their own setup. I install them using "Run Program". As far as I know any program you want to be a part of the project and run during the install, you have to add that file to the "Support Files". However, the Support files is just a flat list of files. How can I add multiple "Setup.exe" files from different programs into that one flat list? I do not see any way of creating subfolders in the "Support Files". How can I keep these files seperate, and yet be a part of my install?

As you said, there is no way to create folders inside the support folder and get it . I would recommend you to rename the setup.exe files to their corresponding application name, and include them in the flat list.

Try using the File Bag plugin instead of support files.
