Hi,
I am using InstallShield 2010 with Windows 2008. I have some dll custom actions, calling into c# code. One of the tasks in this code is to move the folders under c:\windows\system32\msmq to a different location (say c:\msmq).
I can do this fine out of InstallShield. But when I call this code from within InstallShield, I get the System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Windows\System32\msmq' exception.
The path definitely exists. I am running the setup.exe as an administrator on the system.
I cannot figure out what the issue is. Any thoughts on why running the code through InstallShield could cause issues? Any ideas for debugging will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello gcshilpa,
may you should try to add a backslash at the end of the string or you try to quote the path. Have a look at the method LongPathToQuote(...).
