I have a project that allows the user to change the INSTALLDIR. I have components that add folders to the project based on the value of INSTALLDIR. When the user changes the location of INSTALLDIR, the files for INSTALLDIR gets installed into the directory they specify, but any subfolders and contents of those subfolders gets installed in the default location.
User sets INSTALLDIR to C:\PApp during installation INSTALLDIR changes to: C:\PApp Program installs to C:\PApp Data installs to C:\Program Files\MyCo\MyApp\Data It should install to: C:\PApp\Data
I have not seen this one yet, my latest takes all the files that should be going into [installdir]myappdir/files just dumps everything into [installdir] so it is [installdir]files so instead of have c:\myapp\itsfiles or c:\program files\myapp\itsfiles it is more like c:\itsfiles.
I finally discovered the error. I was forgetting to set the event: SetTargetPath to set and update the target.
My problem was that I was using a custom dialog I created for updating the path. I had set up a Property "_Browse_InstallDir" which was set to INSTALLDIR. On the dialog for the edit box, I set the Indirect Property to True. What I had forgotten was to put the event on the Next button.
