Is there a way in installaware to make a folder hidden? I know that you can set files to be hidden but I have not seen an option for setting a folder to be hidden.

Come on IA?!?!?

Is there no way to accomplish this in IA? I find this to be a missing and needed option in IA

How about trying CALL Dll with CreateDirectory?

You will have to be more desciptive then that. I am now using a batch file to get the desired result.

And if you have to use a call DLL runction to create a hidden folder it seems that, that is a long way around just having an option when you create a folder to set it as hidden.

More descriptive?
Are you not familiar with the Windows API?

Call DLL is a standard function in InstallAWARE.
