Using different source and target filenames
I'm trying out Advanced Installer Professional on an existing install project built using Visual Studio 2003 .NET. One of the things I can do in Visual Studio is to specify a target filename that is different from the source filename. For example, we have several different configurations of our product, and each one has a corresponding EULA source file (e.g. eula-educational.rtf, eula-professional.rtf). When creating a Visual Studio install project, I can add one of them to the project but specify that it gets installed as eula.rtf. I can't find a way to do this using Advanced Installer. Is this a missing feature, or have I missed something?
Hello,
You are right, the UI for changing a target file name is not implemented yet. It will be added in a future release.
However, what you can do is to edit the .AIP file by hand.
In <COMPONENT cid="caphyon.advinst.msicomp.MsiFilesComponent"> find the FileName="..." attribute and change it to whatever you desire.
All the best,
Cata
