Install fonts in two places
I have some fonts that have to be installed with our application which have to be installed in the fonts folder (C:\windows\fonts) and in [ALLUSERSPROFILE]\documents\resources\fonts folder.
I used the component wizard > selected the font file type to install the fonts into the fonts folder.
I used the component wizard > create components for me using best practices.
The fonts install in both folders OK. But there is shortcuts in the fonts folder which point to the fonts in the [ALLUSERSPROFILE]\documents\resources\fonts folder which is causing problems and looks very untidy.
Is there a better way to install fonts in two different locations?
I am using installshield 2008 pro.
Thanks in advance

Take a look at the help topic "DuplicateFiles Action" and look at populating the "DuplicateFile" table.
