I have to define in an ini file the path to some configuration files. I managed to do that within an installScript MSI. InstallShield creates entries such as:
Unfortunately, the application can't handle this format as it interprets the '\' characters. The application reading this entry would need either a double backslash '\\' or forward slashes '/'.
Is there a way to generate the paths with \\ or / instead of \, or how could I solve the problem?
Instead of using [INSTALLDIR] directly, perhaps create a custom action (InstallScript action using MsiGetProperty, StrReplace, and MsiSetProperty, for example) that makes your own property [INSTALLDIR_DOCTORED_UP] with the desired slash format, and then use that property in the INI view?
I will try that, calling a custom action somewhere after selecting the target install dir to create a new installer property which I hopefully would be able to use in the ini-files.
