Folder structure wrong!
I have created a new install script msi project. I have a few folders that are created, but will be empty after the install is complete. The structure should be:
[INSTALLDIR]Processing/BundleImportServerMonitor
[INSTALLDIR]Processing/DistributionServerTemp
[INSTALLDIR]Processing/ManualImportFolder
After installation, I get the 3 folders above created, but they are directly off the [INSTALLDIR] folder, not off the Processing folder as desired. I've tried everything I can think of, i've created the above structure threw: files & folders, Setup Design and component creation. Nothing works.
[INSTALLDIR]Processing/BundleImportServerMonitor
[INSTALLDIR]Processing/DistributionServerTemp
[INSTALLDIR]Processing/ManualImportFolder
After installation, I get the 3 folders above created, but they are directly off the [INSTALLDIR] folder, not off the Processing folder as desired. I've tried everything I can think of, i've created the above structure threw: files & folders, Setup Design and component creation. Nothing works.

Have you logged the install? How are you creating the folders - through script or through the CreateFolders table? Can you post the particulars?

Hello Kathy,
I noticed you happen to work for the same company as myself. Small world eh? I'm in the Northville michigan office.
Onto my issue, i've used files&folders view, setup design view, and just plain creating a new component to make these folders. In any case, it doesn't work. Whats really funny though, when I look at files&folders, it actually shows the folder structure exactly like I want it. But upon install, it doesn't show up that way.
