Re: Local File Copy on Target System
I was thinking that Custom Actions was my only route for copying (and for deleting files) on the target system, but I'm not sure how a batch file would look that tries to use the installed location (I believe AI saves this in the APPDIR variable) to perform any actions. If I used %APPDIR%\folder\ in ...

I'm trying to replicate an action which takes place in my current Wise installer in a test AI install and not having much luck in finding the command.
The action in the Wise scripting language is to copy local files from their installed location into another folder location on the target install ...

Facetted Search for AI Help Content
Since there seems to be several versions of AI software (Professional, Enterprise, etc.) it would be really helpful if you had your help content tagged with the version metadata so that you could present facetted help. That way you could select the version you want to see help content for & wouldn't ...

Re: Source Folder Destination Folder Renaming Possible?
Aha - someone just pointed me in the correct direction - use dummy subfolders off the placeholder folder in the target that are synched to their source location, and use the "Install folder content into parent folder" field to dump their contents into the "real" target location. Clever!

Re: Source Folder Destination Folder Renaming Possible?
Hmm, ok I think I've figured out the renaming issue - if you right-click in the target location you can turn the GHI target into whatever you require.
BUT, I've just realized that my source folders don't correspond in a 1:1 relationship between source location:target location; in one of my target ...

Re: Installation path
That sounds like you've got an extra one of those [ApplicationName] variables in your target location - I think they are controlled in the Resources > Files and Folder section.

Re: SIMPLE Upgrade or Patch?
I'm like the original poster too - I'm looking for a method to copy over files from a source location (a patches folder structure that we already populate here in the office with files changed since our initial release) to a client's target installation folders without uninstalling the original ...

Source Folder Destination Folder Renaming Possible?
So I've been working through building a simple installer to see if it can accomplish what our company needs.
One of the first issues I'm encountering is that it seems to require the source folders to be the same name as the installed destination folders (e.g. the structure that I'm using as the ...
