Hello All!

When you are building a "Set-Up" project, how do you add a folder? I knowI
can add a additional files to the project. But I have a few folders I need
added at certain locations. Even if they were put in the programs folder,
that would be fine, but I would rather have the option to put the folder
where ever I want. The files in the folder are created when the program is
running, so I'm not concerned about that. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I thought of that, but I just needed the folders added once. The files are
created and deleted during the program. Just thought there would be a quick
way of doing it through set up.
Thanks!

Do you want these other folders put in the same directory where you're
installing your application? If you want them as sub-folders, then an
easy way to do it is Right-Click on Application Folder in the File
System View of the Setup project, select Add, then Folder.

If you want to place these folders somewhere else like Common Files,
System, Application Data you can right-click the root node in the File
System view of the setup project (named 'File System on Target
Machine') and click Add Special Folder. You can then use the same
method as above to add folders there.
