"Use original installation path when upgrading": possible to have a dependency here

Thu Nov 12, 2020 12:29 am

AI 14.1.1 b 79451 Enterprise

Updates: "Use original installation path when upgrading"
This option is checked.

However, my previous installation had a problem and as target folder '-' was set, instead of e.g. 'MyProduct'
So, in that case, I would like to have to reset to the standard installation path.

Is this possible?

Hello Chris,

Yes, it is possible to achieve what you need.

To do so, we can make use of:

- a "Set property" custom action that will set the APPDIR property, added as an "Init Event" on the "FolderDlg" dialog

- the "><" operator

Basically, the logic is as it follows. If APPDIR contains the "-" character, set the APPDIR to its' default value which I've taken from the "Install Parameters" page.

Hope this helps!
