Non executables

Hello, this may be a stupid question, but here goes anyway.

Is there a way to use Advanced Installer to create an MSI which will simply position non .exe files onto a computer.

eg. the MSI file will be run by multiple users on multiple computers and it needs to simply un package different folders into different areas. This is so that an MDE file can be used to run these folders, but it is very important that each folder is in a specific place. I know you can unpackage .exe's into different places, but I cant see a way to do it with folders.

Hope this makes sence. Thanks for any help.

Re: Non executables

Hello,

You can simply create a new folder in the directory tree on the "Files and Folders" page, and it will be created along with its contents during install, under the folder in which you placed it.

You can find more information on what each folder means by reviewing this table.

Please note that Advanced Installer is not limited to installing executable files. Here are some comprehensive tutorials that can help you get started with using Advanced Installer.

Regards,
