How do I install some files in a folder of a previously installed
application?AnswerThe first thing you have to do is get the path to the folder where
you want to install the files.
Go to the "Search" page in order to set up a search. You have several possibilities when choosing what to
search for:
- if that application stores the path you need in a registry value
you could search for it.
- search for that folder's name; this is a good idea only if the
name ensures that the search will not accidentally find another folder
with the same name in the location you have specified. For example, a
search for a folder named "bin" in "ProgramFilesFolder" is likely to
have more than one possible result.
- search for a file that you know to be present in the folder you
are targeting.
Once you have a property holding the path to the folder, must
create a property-based folder. Go to the "Files and Folders" page.
Use the "New Folder"
toolbar button to create a new property-based folder. In the new window
select the name of the search you have previously created.
Place all the files you need into this folder. |
