Hello Raghu,

Here is a video tutorial in order to set up your Website Browse. In your case you will use the Combobox to store the values instead of the Listbox.

Once you have finished the initial setup go to the ISS page and click on the Web Site Browser you created. In "Data Output" add a property with the following Binding Type: Physical Path. Now go to the dialog that contains your combobox and on the Next button add the following Published Event.
  • Control Event: Set installer property value
    Property:APPDIR
    Argument:The property you set to store the Physical Path
    Condition: 1
Now you should have the installation path set to the physical path of the web site.

Best regards,
Dan

Hi,

You are saying that physical path can be set on next button click But,
I want to set the physical path to control immediately when the combo box item (web site) is changed by user. Is it possible to do?


I have adv installer with version 14.3, please give me sample created on version 14.3


Regards
Raghu

Unfortunately we do not have built in support so the physical path be extracted just when you select the web site item in the combo box. The path will be extracted always when clicking on [Next>] button. Can you please give us more details why do you need the path be extracted just right away after selecting the item in combo box?

All the best,
Daniel
