How to link to the installation media

[kozlov_vital]

I have InstallScript MSI Project. In SupportFiles/Billboards I've added some directories to Advanced Files/Disk1. How can I link to this folders in my InstallScripts? For example I need to make
lstDirs = MakeDirList('My Folder'^sDir);
What must I put instead of 'My Folder'?

kozlvov_vital,

If these files are in your "Support Files" for the project, you should be able to access them in InstallScript via something like:

lstDirs = MakeDirList( SUPPORTDIR ^ sDir );

ch_eng,

These files are not in SupportFiles, but in AdvancedFiles, so they wouldn't copy to the "SUPPORTDIR".

kozlov_vital,

Apologies. In that case, it would be something like the following:

	NUMBER	nLength;
	STRING	szExePath;

	nLength = MAX_PATH + 1;
	MsiGetProperty( ISMSI_HANDLE, "SETUPEXEDIR", szExePath, nLength );

	lstDirs = MakeDirList( szExePath ^ sDir );
