Using multiple search path at build time
In our code configuration some files for installation can reside in different places (e.g. locally and server). Is there a way to make Installshield to search multiple path? I tried environment vasriable PATH_TO_FILES=c:\files;d:\files similar to PATH but it doesn't work in Installshield.
So at build time Installshield woild search for a file in c:\files and if not found then in d:\files.

I believe a single path variable currently uses only a single directory (or registry value or environment variable), and not a sequence of them.

Robert, is it possible to have file pointed by more than one environment variable? I could do that as well.

Your project can use any many path variables as you like, though a single file's link can include only a single path variable. But in general, yes, you can pull files in from multiple locations.
