Hey Guys,

I have some files that need to be installed to a specific location during installation. I have edited VB standard installation program to do this copy. However, I am unable to reference the path the setup.exe is being run from.

I have tried app.path and that always returns c:\winnt, even though setup.exe is being run from a CD.

The reason for this is that I want my DLL to install in the user defined location, but I also have ASP files that need to go into C:\inetpub\
Does any1 know how to reference the install location, or am I going about doing this the wrong way.

thanks
 
It's been a long time since I used Package/Deployment but
I believe you can edit the setup.lst file on the File# line and change the 2nd parameter to the correct path.
 
You can also set the installation path right in one of the wizards forms (I forget the name of it). It's easy to miss because the installation path hidden to the right. You need to scroll the grid to see them.

Thanks and Good Luck!
