How to create an empty folder

Post by mark83 »

Hi,
I noticed that Actual Installer removes empty folders when building the exe. Is there a way to control this? Our application have several folders that must be empty and installed on client's machine.

To create an empty folder you just need to add the following command on the System/Commands tab:

Code: Select all

Command: <SystemDir>\cmd.exe
Parameters: /C mkdir "<InstallDir>\New Folder"
Show: Normal
Timing: After Installation

Starting Actual Installer version 6.1, it supports adding empty folders (see menu: View\Preferences; make sure the option "Do not add empty folders" is not selected ):
