Hello,
I packaged my program with Package and Deployment Wizard.
I want, when the program install on the friend computer, I file Artist.dsn install as it is necessary, in C:program Files/Common Files/ODBC/Data Sourse, but in Package and Deployment Wizard is present only Common Patch and file install in C:program Files/Common Files.
How it is possible will correct?
Good Luck

As i understand your issue, you would like a particular file to be desposited in a certain directory, when your app is installed.

Under the PDW, you will be utilizing a packaging script. It is in a wizard form so it will walk you through the process. Under the list of items to be installed if you scroll over to the far right you will see the install path. Here you can modify the installation location using supplied shortcuts (like App.path, %SysDir%,%temp%). I have an app that i wanted my two access databases installed to a folder called "databases" in the app.path. I altered the install location as follows:
ORIGINAL LOCATION SPECIFIED BY PDW:
Code:
app.path
CHANGED LOCATION SPECIFIED BY ME:
Code:
app.path/databases

Hope this helps ;)
 
Big Thanks.

I shall try


Good Luck
Miho
