Place the same file at multiple target location in Basic msi installer
I have a single folder in the sorce files for the installer that I want to place in 4 different subfolders during installation. The original file should only be included in the installer package once. how do I define installation components to place the file in 4 folders, all from the same source file? Now when I define 4 components with the same source, it is duplicated in the installer package once for each component, so the installer actually contains 4 copies of the same file. Is there a way to define components to prevent this? Thanks. - Bill White
It appears that the answer to my question may involve the DuplicatFile table. How do I use the DuplicateFile table to copy all the files of a component with dynamic linked files? I think I'm getting closer:) -- Bill
The MoveFile table works for flat folders, but its still a problem for highly nested folders. I still need a solution that expresses copying an entire hierarchy by designating its root folder.
