How to obtain list of files installed through Speedfolders
Hi,
I am using InstallAnywhere 2008 and wondering if there's any API to obtain list of files installed through Speedfolders? Basically I am trying to implement rollback so these files got removed when user abort the installation.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The rollback feature has been implemented natively in IA 2010.

Thanks for your reply, Vlad
I am aware of that IA2010 has this support but currently we are stuck using IA2008, that's why I would like to know if there's a way to work around the problem. Do you know of a way to do this through custom code?

Well, the "issue" with SpeedFolder is that they might contain anything, depending on what was in the parent folder at the build time (and of course of the possible filters set on that SF). So I'm not sure what to say: if you take a peek into an installer, you'll see that speedfolders are actually .jar files with names like: Docs_zg_ia_sf.jar. Assuming that you access directly with Extract to File plugin the respective speedfolder, you list its file, what will you do with other files that are installed not from SF, where will you get their list from?
