Selecting the Install Folder

[VictorReinhart]

Hi,
I have a need, in some cases, to verify that my INI file exists when the user selects the install folder. My current (non-SF) setup will reject the install folder if the file is not in the install folder which the user chooses.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Re: Selecting the Install Folder

Hi,

The problem in this situation is that Setup Factory can only perform a File Search at the beginning of each installation. If you really wanted to accomplish this then what you could do is use two separate installations in conjunction. One would be a "wrapper" installation, and the other would be the "main" installation.

If there is only going to be one copy of your INI file on the user's system, then you could perform a File Search for the INI file and store the path in a variable. Then when the user selects an Installation Path, you would compare the two values, and if they are not equal, inform the user that they have selected an incorrect path.
