I need to install my setup.exe if some folder exists in install directory location
Hi,
I am having an installer which is building with the help of Installshield. When I run the installer it will get installed successfully and creates all files and folders inside the INSTALLDIR folder.
But, I must do a validation before my installer get installed, I need to check for a specific folder whether it exists or not inside the INSTALLDIR.
for instance: C:\inetput\wwwroot\MustExistFolder
my setup another directory like : C:\inetput\wwwroot\NewFolder
I understand to use system search to find the folder and store the value and build the condition statement for the install under "install condition"
Under system search wizard:
Searching for "folder name" in "full path"
Store the value in property "ALLUSERS"
then selecting "store the value in the property and use the property in an install condition"
I am confused on how to build my conditional statment;
My experience in conditionals is programming based, if that helps, this is what I need to do in installshield
(IF ALLUSERS != C:\inetput\wwwroot\MustExistFolder
then InstallMsi)
Looking for some help here 🙂
Thanks and Regards
