Prevent appending last word from the default path to the user selected folder

[Arshad Kunnath]

Hi, 
I have created a simple inno setup installation package, which will copy few files from a folder to the destination folder - DefaultDirName or User selected path. But each time if user selects one folder, the last name from the default path is appending to the user selection. How that can be avoided ?

[Setup]
AppName=Plugin_Ings
AppVersion=1.0
DefaultDirName={code:GetInstallDir}
DisableProgramGroupPage=yes

Uninstallable=no
OutputDir=.
OutputBaseFilename=Plugin_Ings
Compression=lzma
SolidCompression=yes

[Files]
; Copies all files in the folder flat (no subfolders)
Source: "D:\Work\Ingstron\ANSA-Pluggin\Source_Files\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion

[Run]
; Optional: run something after install
; Filename: "{app}\your_file.py"; Flags: postinstall skipifsilent nowait

[Code]
function GetInstallDir(Default: String): String;
begin
  Result := 'C:\config\plugins';  // You can change this to any default base folder
end;


This is the script written. When manually select a folder, the term 'plugins' is attached with the selected path automatically. How to provent.
