Allow user to only change drive, not path
How can I set IS to only allow the user to choose a destination drive, as opposed to a full destination path of the install?
Thanks.
Thanks.

What type of project are you using (MSI or InstallScript)? I don't believe either type is set up to do this without changes, but it should be manageable with a bit of customization...

It's a basic MSI.
I posted the question here because after trying to create a dialog that would allow the user to select from a list of local drives, I just got lost...
I have an installscript function that will retrieve a list of local drives, but cannot figure out how to sequence it or utilize it from within my custom dialog (custom dialog has nothing more than a drop down that I want to populate with the available drives).
I figured I could get the drives, populate the list, then when the user selects a drive, prepend it to the [INSTALLDIR] property and carry on... but I'm not having luck doing that...
Any pointers on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Mike

Perhaps try adding a VolumeSelectCombo control to your dialog box?

I am also trying to do that same thing. Howeve, I have an InstallScript MSI Project. When I edit the SdAskDestPath dialog, I am unable to add a Volume Select Combo Control. It is grayed out in the toolbar. Does someone know why this might be?
Thx
