Re: How to read the selected ComboBox "Text" and "value"

Hi, Daniel, I have Enterprise Edition 9.4, and I can't open this aip file. Is it possible for you to build this same aip file in an older AI version and upload it here? Thanks!

Re: Volume Combo Box

Is it possible to list only the drives greater than a certain size in the VolumeSelectCombo? Since the VolumeCostList knows the sizes of the drives, can I somehow use that information to restrict the values in the VolumeSelectCombo?

Check for drives larger than a certain size

I would like to add a control (possibly a VolumeSelectCombo box) to my installation that will list only the hard drives that are larger than 250 GB. And if there is only one drive that meets this criteria, I want to automatically set the dropdown control to that drive. Has anyone been able to accomp...

Re: Including large (45 GB) files

Daniel, thanks for your help! I have over one hundred folders within folders that will need to be created, so I'm thinking your first suggestion of using a batch file to copy the folders and files next to my msi is the best option. Is there a way to invoke the batch file and know the drive letter of...

Re: Including large (45 GB) files

Daniel, thanks for your help! I made the suggested modifications to my aip, and the copy operation for the files worked. However, the folders are not being created on the target machine. All the files from those two folders are being copied to the top level directory on the target machine, but the a...

Re: Including large (45 GB) files

Dan, thanks for the info. I have tried doing what you suggested, but I guess I'm doing something wrong because my folder contents are not copying. In the "Install Parameters" section, I added a "SOURCEDIR" property set equal to C:\, and another property "X_DIR" set to X...

Re: Including large (45 GB) files

Dan, thanks for the suggestion. This solution works perfectly!

But.... I now have several hundred files that I would like to copy, so I'm wondering if there is a way to include a "folder" name instead of creating a copy operation for each individual file. Is this possible?

Re: Including large (45 GB) files

Dan, thanks for the reply! I think launching a batch file to perform the copy is a good idea for my case. Since my data files are so large, they won't fit on a DVD. So, the installer and the data files will reside on an external hard drive. The article about launching the batch or exe file describes...

Including large (45 GB) files

Hi, I am new to Advanced Installer - Enterprise Edition. I need to include three 45 GB files with my installation. It would be acceptable to include those files next to my installation script and then use a command to copy them to the target machine, but I don't want to use that option for the small...
