Deploy - Adding Folder inside MSI

Post by maxsoullard@hotmail.com »

Hi

I developed a HTA script that points to image files and other exes, the path has been hard coded in the HTA to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ScriptName\Images

It works fine when running the HTA and after wrapping in an exe.

However when I create an MSI I don’t have an option in Installer Settings to configure folders, therefore all files required appear in the root of the ScriptName folder.

Is there any configuration that allows me to configure folders in the MSI? So subfolders are created in the root of the ScriptName folder

I do not want to use a share to make these files accessible. I want a standalone solution.

I am using PrimalScript 2014

Thanks
Max

I completely understand what you want to do. The precursor to this functionality, the MSI Wizard, copied the files and folders from a staging area (http://www.sapien.com/blog/2013/06/05/i ... si-wizard/), which took the entire structure along.

Unfortunately that has proven to be too complicated for most users, so we changed it to just adding files.

I can check if we can add that as an option back in, but it may take a week or two to happen.
