hi is it possible for me to read from the resources.zip or somewhere in the temp
hi,
i have a requirement wherein i want to read from a properties file which i am installing .
That is i want to read from the properties file in the preinstall panels from the properties file which i will be installing afterwards so i want to know if i can read from any temp(WINDOWS\Temp) or somewhere .
Any suggestions are awaited.
james

hi,
my aim is to read a properties file which i will be installing in the install task and i want to read the contents of the file in the preinstall task.
Hence i want to read from the properties file in the resources i have bundled .
I want to know from where i should read them or am i absurd in trying such a thing.
I know that we have a resources.zip file and whenever we run the installer it self extracts in the windows/TEMP directory.

Perhaps see if the getResource method of the InstallerProxy class will help?

CustomCodeRuleProxy does indeed support the substitute method. Please see the javadoc help for details.
