Setup with dynamic files

Hi,

i want to create a dynamic setup.

The required structure:

setup.exe
Prequisite Folder
->Prequisite Files
Dynamic Folder
->Progam Files Folder
-->Company Name Folder
--->App Name Folder
---->app.exe
----->Reports Folder
-------->Report Files should be dynamic

I want to create the setup only one time and if i add a report to the Reports Subfolder the Setup should install it, without any rebuild of the setup.

Maybe someone can help because i'm new to advanced installer.

Re: Setup with dynamic files

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

I'm afraid we don't have a predefined support for this. However, in order to achieve this you can use our "Command Line" support. For example, you can write your own script or BAT file which will add the related resource files to your project and then build your project.

All the best,
Daniel

Re: Setup with dynamic files

Ok.

I have another question.

I have 2 features in my MSI Installtion.

One feature has associated components and one without.

If i modify the installation on the customize tab during installation. i'm can only select "install to run from network" at the feature without components.

When i add any component to the second feature. I can't choose "install to run from network" at both features.


//update

I forgot to check "Optional" in the "Attributes" section...

No "Run from Network Option" at Mainfeature.
