Change InstallDir during modify operation
I want to enable "change" button in custom setup during modify operation also. But when i enable and change the install folder ; it does not take [InstallDIr] as the new location but the specified location in MSI. Can you tell me whether Installshield support the same and if yes how can i make sure that [INSTALLDIR] is set to the new location.
For example:
I have a Feature A,B. Destination folder for A is not INSTALLDIR. Let says its c:\ABC. The destination folder of B is [INSTALLDIR] which is c:\DEF. I install A first. Then i double click MSI and go to modify and change the loc (C:\PQR) to install B. But the INSTALLDIR still remains as c:\DEF and installs in it. and the INSTALLDIR also does not get displayed in "LOcation" label in custom setup dialog...
But this works perfectly fine for fresh install...
