Xcopyfile Installshield

[Tamela]

Iwill try to explain you in not too many wordswhat I am trying to make is the following:I would like to make an instalation that has a lot of images in arranged in

a folder (which would be placed on a cd with the instalation) which should

not be compressed or part of the installation cab files, plain files.structure of the cd is something like this:/imagesDir (dir)

(jpg files)

/thumbnails

(thumbnails)

/Data.cab

/setup.exe

/slide.msiI would like those few folders to be copied to instalation folder (eg:

X:\imagesDir -> [InstallDir] \imagesDir)I've found xcopyfiles command, but I don't know where to put it because I

don't know how installshield events work. (and to be honest InstallShield

variables are puzzling me too)I am making this kind of arrangement because I want to change content of

this directory very often and I don't want to remake installation everytime

I change a single fileI know I should be reading manual :-(Thanks,

Bob

To achive what you want, you should be able to use the install shield

install wizard, and just tell the wizard that you have these files and I

want to put them here.With your other requirement which is to not rebuild the package because you

make changes to the content of the folder very often is really hard to do.

Your install package needs to know what files are installed on you system so

it can remove them and perform all of the operations properly when it

installs. It also stores the file size and attributes etc.I would recomment not trying to achieve this goal and just rebuild each time

your instal changes.
