Installation path

Hi All,

I am new to advanced installer. I have pretty much figured out everything for my installer, except one thing. The path that my app is installed in is C:\Program Files\MyCompany\MyApp\MyApp\Myapp.exe. How do I make it just C:\Program Files\MyCompany\MyApp\Myapp.exe

Thanks, Mr. Beer

Re: Installation path

That sounds like you've got an extra one of those [ApplicationName] variables in your target location - I think they are controlled in the Resources > Files and Folder section.

Re: Installation path

I figured it out. I modified the properties of the MyApp Folder under Application folder. Clicked "Install folder content into the parent".

Re: Installation path

Hi Mr. Beer and welcome to Advanced Installer forums.

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

The approach you implemented to solve your problem is correct, however as jeff@jonasclub.com mentioned, you do not need to add an extra folder under the "Application Folder", you can place all your files and folders right in the "Application Folder" and you will get the behavior you want.
