Change read-only attribute after file operation

[joost]

Hi there,

Our installer gets shipped to customers on a CD with some user-specific files next to it. We use a File Copy operation to copy those file to the correct folder. Unfortunately, because the files come from CD, they have the Read-only attribute after installation. Is there any way to remove the Read-only attribute during the file operation, or do we have to build a custom action for it?

Thanks,

Hi Joost and welcome to Advanced Installer forums.

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

Unfortunately, we don't have predefined support for this, but indeed, you can create a simple custom action to achieve this.

Okay, solved it by launching attrib.exe in a custom action. Works fine!

Thanks,
