Urgent Help! Set Customed Directory
Hi,
I am working on an Installscript MSI project and created a customized folder "MyRoot" in Files and Folders->Destination Computer's Folder. I added couple of files in MyRoot. In the wizard, the users could change to their desired directory. Could anyone tell me how to define/set the MyRoot value in InstallScript? I tried MSISetProperty but these files were never installed under MyRoot directory.
Any comments will be very much appreciated! Thanks ahead!
David

Perhaps try using a public property (one with an all-capital name: MYROOT instead of MyRoot), and, depending where you're calling the script, try MsiSetTargetPath?
If nothing else, perhaps try creating an MSI log file to check the property values?
