INSTALLDIR - does the location exist or will be created

Hi all,

Once the user specified the install location (INSTALLDIR) I want to know if that location already exists or not.

But once the user specifies the location in 'Specify Destination Location'  dialog, and before I get a chance to check if it exists or not, InstallShield goes ahead and creates the install location. How do I find out if that location existed or was created by Installshield.

thanks.

Hi,

how do call the "Specify destionation location" dialog? Which function do you use?

I'm not 100% familiar with InstallScript (MSI) projects as I'm using 100% of the time Basic MSI installations but when I look into the help, there is a function SdAskDestPath(2) that you can call, and when you click browse within this dialog, the SelectDir function is called where you can specify if the selected directory needs to be created automatically or not.

 

Don't know if this answers your question?
