Set the default install path

Open schontz opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Right now, the installer just installs to Program Files\name (where name is passed to MSICreator). Is it possible to install to something like: Program Files\manufacturer\name (where name and manufacturer are passed to MSICreator)?

Sorry, somehow I missed it in docs. My eyes need a break. :)

Sorry, I just tried setting programFilesFolderName to Some\\Path, but it complains that \ is invalid. Is it there a way to set a folder hierarchy?

I ended up passing the generated file through a SAX XML parser and modifying the value. Alternatively, you can use a placeholder name, e.g., CHANGE_PATH, and search and replace to the value you want.
