Installing a separat file

Postby jamesblast » Thu Oct 26, 2006 2:59 am

Hello,

we are thinking of buying installaware, but there is one question remaining.

We want to put a custom file along with the installpackage ie on a CD.

The installer sould then install this file into the installationdir.

How is that possible with installaware?

The problems are: the file is NOT included into the msi/installer -file. It is placed in the same dir as the installfile.

Thank you.

Regards,
james

Hi James,

Quite easily done.

Just use the Copy/Move Local Files command, and read the file from $SFXPATH$\\filename, or if $SFXPATH$ is empty from $EXEDIR$\\filename. And that will take care of it for you.
