Questions about Setup Factory and Version Control

[[email protected]]

How do we specify relative paths for the local folder of our archived files?

For example, if I have the build files in

C:\Projects\Stuff\Build Files

but I know that my coworker has his setup as

C:\Projects\DifferentStuff\Build Files,

how would I change the local folder path in Setup Factory so that when I share my .suf file with him, we wouldn't have to match our file setup exactly?


Also, I'm a little confused about how to add required modules. A lot of the included modules are fairly old, but I tried to copy their setup when adding in a new module. Specifically, the latest C++ Redistributables: vcredist package from Microsoft. I read through the documentation, but I don't think I'm doing it correctly.


We tried to use the #PROJECTFILEDIR# as per your post reply here: https://forums.indigorose.com/forum/...-archive-files, but we're trying to find a different solution, because our source files will probably be stored elsewhere than our build files.

Please specify where exactly are the files - archive and project file - are stored in these two environments. If the folder structure is the same on both systems, you can use the #PROJECTFILEDIR# build constant, even if that folder has not the same parent or drive letter, so I am having difficulties understanding the issue.

We have a specific sub forum for Setup Factory Modules and Resources, where you can find contributions with additional dependency modules and plugins. As the detection scripts look for the existence of specific files and/or registry keys for a certain technology, replacing the installer without making the matching changes in the script won't result in something useful.

I am still waiting for a precise description of your folder structures to attempt to understand why #PROJECTFILEDIR# would not work.

Hi Ulrich,

Apologies for the delay, our holiday break had started.

Unfortunately, our trial ran out over the holiday break. Is there a way we can extend it or get a new one while we try to recall exactly where we were and work through these issues?

Thank you.

I cannot extend the evaluation period. To get a new trial period, you may install the software on a different computer... Alternatively, you could purchase a license and start using the commercial product. There is a 30 day money back guarantee as outlined on the homepage ( https://www.indigorose.com ), should you decide that the product does not meet your needs.
