I do not see an easy way to create a new, empty folder. Do I need to use the system->commands section?
Thanks!

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

Very similar to what I implemented, I used "md" instead of "mkdir". I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something easier.
Now, making this a little harder...
Is there a technique where I can request the data location from the installer? I know I can use dialogs->user information->custom field. But this requires that the installer type the location, which could lead to errors. Is there a simple way to include an open dialog to point to an existing location as a base path? I'm thinking that I will need to use a windows script to accomplish this. Any ideas?
Thanks much.
