Software Deployment

Hello,

All you need to do is create a Custom Action, with a Type value of 35.

Set the 'Source' column to the directory key (from the Directory table) you want to change (ie: 'notes' ?)

And the set the 'Target' column to the actual directory you want (ie: 'c:\pf\lotusnotes' )

Actually, I don't think I understand 100%.

My previous comment was to set/change the old directory ('c:\pf\lotus\notes') to the new directory ('c:\pf\lotusnotes')

Are you actually asking how to rename/move a folder while installing a MSI package?

OK, then. You need to use the MoveFile table.

The following example may help you:

MoveFile Table:
FileKey column = key1
Component_ column = component_name
SourceName column = *
DestName column = *
SourceFolder = notes (referenced from the Directory table)
DestFolder = lotusnotes (again, referenced from the Directory table)
Options = 1 (1 = Move, 0 = Copy)


Just as another point too, if you ever need to do anything in MSI's and don't know how to, always consult the Windows Installer SDK documentation. Its the best source of information and it has always helped me! [;)]
