A question about Support Files?

Hi All,

I have a question about Advanced Files(DISK1) of Support Files.

I setup a Basic MSI Project and use the Web Type "Install From The Web" and I add some files(for example a.xml and b.xml) into DISK1. But when I download and run the setup.exe from the client I found that it could not access those files(a.xml and b.xml). Are those files downloaded from the server(my PC)? If downloaded, which folder can I find those files? Or is there any API that I can use to access those Support Files?
How does it works?

Can any one help me to do this? Thanks.

Hi ocean, as your application is a single isntall, it is unpacked into support area of OS. You can access it, during install, pointing to the target of SUPPORTDIR. Something like:

sFile1 = SUPPORTDIR ^ 'disk1' ^ 'a.xml';

I hope this fix your problem!
