Browse Network

[Skylla]

I followed this guide in order to enable the user to browse for a location where to store certain files that our application uses.
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... older.html


99% of the time users store these files on a network share and often the share is not mapped to a local drive.
However, it doesnt seem possible to browse a network SMB path (e.g \\server\shared )

Is there a way to handle this? (Without mapping to a drive)

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

In order to achieve what you want you can take a look on our "Network browser" thread.

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,

Thanks, enabling the advanced UI took care of the problem.

Is there a way to get the login and password if the user is required to enter login and password to the selected path?

Hello,

I'm afraid I don't fully understand what you mean. Can you give us more details about what you want to achieve (maybe exemplify)?

All the best,

During install we me ask the user where our program can save certain files.

If the user chooses a network path (e.g. \\server\share\path) the server may require a password and login to that path.
The user enters these details during browsing to that path.

Is there a way for the msi to get the login and password that the user entered when browsing?

Hello,

I'm afraid you cannot achieve this.
