Hard-coded path to certificate is changed to relative path

[drivard]

Hi,
We use a hard-coded certificate path in our aip file.
Whenever I open the AIP file in AI, it changes the path to a relative one. This is not helpful, and requires me to hand-edit the file before check-in.
I edit the AIP file on my dev system, and the paths are different on my build system. Additionally, on my dev system, the certificate folder in question doesn't exist, so I don't know why it is doing anything.

Can you please not change the path on me?

thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

By default Advanced Installer uses relative paths. If you want to change this you can use the Project -> Options menu.

Thanks for the response Cosmin. I am always learning new things about AI.

I am trying to figure out if I can get the right combination of settings in that dialog to work for our situation.

In this case, things work fine when working on our build system, because we do builds on d:, while our cert is on c:.

On our dev systems, everything is on c:

Relative paths are appropriate for everything _EXCEPT_ the cert.

I'm not sure how to get around this.

Hi,

You can try using relative paths with a Path Variable for your certificate. This way the paths are updated on the new machine and you can change the path variable from the project. Unfortunately the paths cannot be configured separately (some relative and some absolute).

Thanks Cosmin. I'll think about this one a bit. It should be a workable solution.
