Encrypted Filesystems

[aolson]

Hello,

Is there any way to detect whether a given folder is encrypted or not using Advanced Installer? I would like to avoid using a Custom Action if at all possible. Maybe something in the new launch condition support in 3.4?

Cheers,

Aaron

Alternatively, is there any way to not use the temp directory and install components directly to the TargetDir?

Hi,

I'm afraid that Advanced Installer doesn't have this feature.

The only way to achieve what you want is through a custom action.

Best regards,
Ciprian

Hi Ciprian,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Can I temporarily set an environment variable (%TMP% in particular) during the install process and set it back to its original value once the install is complete?

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi,

You can set an environment variable during the install process.
But the environment change will become available to other programs only after the installation completes (on Windows NT, 2000 and XP) or after reboot (on Windows 95, 98, and Me).

For more details, please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... action.asp.

Can you please tell me why do you want to do that? Maybe there is another way.

Regards,
Ionut

Hi Ionut,

We were attempting to find a way to successfully install when a client has an encrypted %TMP% directory. However, we have decided not to find a workaround after all. If a client has an encrypted %TMP% directory they should already know how to work around it.
