Install Application, then Copy Folders to Users Hard Drive

Well, firstly, it looks like I will be buying the Professional version shortly!

So, I think I have worked out how to install my application OK but I also need to construct a folder and numerous sub-folders on the users C drive - I assume I do that by a Pre or Post in the Pre-requisites section?

Is there an idiots guide to this?

Re: Install Application, then Copy Folders to Users Hard Dri

Hello,

If you want to create the related folders structure under WindowsVolume drive, then you can add it under "Windows Volume" folder from "Files and Folders" page. Also, if you want to add the folders structure under a different drive (e.g. H:\), then you can add an installer property, on "Install Parameters" page, like this:
  • Name: MY_DRIVE
    Value: H:\
and then create a property-based folder (using the above property) in "Files and Folders" page.

Let us know if this helps, otherwise give us more details about your scenario.

All the best,
Daniel
