Automatically copy file to Output-folder during compiling

Postby Ton_B » Thu Jul 06, 2006 3:25 am

Hi,

My setup uses 2 external setup-files, which I start using the Run Program function.

These file must be stored in a sub directory of the original setup like this:

Code: Select all

\\\\{Servername}\\{Share}\\BMA\\Mosos\\Setup\\MososSetup.msi (this is the main setup)

\\\\{Servername}\\{Share}\\BMA\\Mosos\\Setup\\Components\\dotnetfx.exe
\\\\{Servername}\\{Share}\\BMA\\Mosos\\Setup\\Components\\msxml6.msi


When I Compile my project I need to add these file manually to this sub directory.
Is there a way so the IA Compiler adds these file for me in the output folder?

Sorry, no.
You may use a batch file to call the command line build tool, miabuild.exe, and then add the other copy commands.
Additionally, InstallAware is supported by most build utilities, such as NAnt and FinalBuilder.

Ton,
