Find and store folder path containing a file

[teplo]

Hi, I use search for a specific file on all drives.

The property return full path with file name (like c:\test\myfile.txt), but I need only the path (c:\test\). How can I do that ?


Cheers.

Hi,

The "File Search" returns is the full path including the file name. To remove the file name from the path you need to create a VBS custom action and schedule it after "InstallExecuteSequence->AppSearch" standard action.

Or if you want to search for a folder create "New Search", "Add Location->Folder" in the "Search" page.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Gigi
