Searching for a folder on the system

Thu Oct 20, 2005 8:01 pm

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to use the AI Search feature to search for a folder on the system and save its full path in a Property.

1- I do right-click on Target Computer
2- I choose "New Search"

I get a "Result_Property" that has no property page and does nothing.

Is "New File Search" implies folder search as well?

Hi,

Advanced Installer allows you to perform a search for a folder at install time.

Here is how it could be done:
- In the "Search" page, use the [ New Search ] toolbar button to schedule a search.
- Select the resulted search property.
- Use the [ Add Location ] toolbar button and select the "Folder" option.
- Edit the "Path" field (Directory Properties pane) to the path of the folder to be searched. This field is of formatted type. Use the [...] button to inset reference to a file, folder or property.

If the search is successful the resulted property will contain the path of the folder, otherwise it will be empty.


Best regards,
