Installing setup files in custom folder

[CChong]

Doing a installscript MSI project.
Requirement is that setup project files should be installed in a particular folder on the target system not in predefined locations in installshield.
and that folder is to be searched on the target system while set up is run.

Please help.
Thanks

This is exactly what I need to be able to do. I need to search an enviornment variable to install an addon. If the enviornment variable is not set, or the application is not where the variable points, then I need to prompt the user to find it.

If anyone can help us please chime in!

For InstallScript MSI projects, you can use either a system search or FindAllFiles InstallScript function to search the file system, for example.

(As an aside, you might have better luck posting any follow-up questions in the InstallShield Windows 11.5 forum.)
