Hi

Is there a way how i can get the ProductName of my Installer in my Merge Module?

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Yes, you could simply use a reference of ProductName property in your merge module.

Hi

Thanks but how?

I want to create a folder with the name of the Installer Productname.

In the Merge Module i create a Folder with Target name [|ProductName].

After Installation the folder has the name "Property not found."

Hello,

Do you need this folder to be created in APPDIR? If this is the case, you could implement this scenario in the following way:

In your merge module project :
- create a new Property Based folder. You will pe prompt to select a property. Click on "New" button and create a new public property named, for example "FOLDER", with a valid value, for example "c:\"
- create a "Set installer property" custom action with sequence, placed before "User Selection" in "Wizard Dialogs Stage". This custom action should be configured in the following way:

Code: Select all

Property: FOLDER
Value : [APPDIR][ProductName]

Please take a look on the attached merge module sample project configured for this scenario.


Best regards,
