MoveFiles table entries

[dmetzler]

In the MoveFiles table, I want to set the SourceFolder to the location where the .msi is located when it is run, and the DestFolder to the location [ProgramFilesFolder]MyProgram\Data.

1) Is there a variable to determine where the source .msi is located?

2) The MoveFiles table does not allow the '[' or ']' character. How can I set the DestFolder to the path: [ProgramFilesFolder]MyProgram\Data ?

Thanks,

1. Look at the SourceDir property.

2. Use the "Browse, Create, or Modify a directory entry..." in a component's Destination property or create the folder structure in the Files and Folders view to create a directory entry and set the Directory Identifier to that folder. Use that identifier name in the MoveFiles table.

Thanks. This is working (and sorry for the LATE reply).

Now one final step. The files installed from the MoveFile table: I want to delete these files on uninstall. How can I create a custom uninstall step to delete files in \Program Files\Company\Program folder? It looks as if I can create a New InstallScript Custom Action. How/where can I add the code for this custom action?

Thanks,

Don

Take a look at the RemoveFile table. Avoid the custom action route if you can.

That did it - thanks.
