Install database folder

I have in my project add a database, but when I made a cab file, and install
it, the database is install in the same folder as the program.

How due I get the database install in the "My Documents" folder?

A doubt you create your DB at your application or you add the DB to
your application at the project with the VS ?

Yes I add the DB to my projekt with the VS, but I can't get it in the right
folder!

Try checking the .INF file for the correct deployment path.

It's an .INF file not .INI file. You can find it in your release
directory/debug of your CAB project. When you look in the .INF check the
section labeled [DestinationDirs].

I found it, but the database file was not in the [DestinationDirs]



[DestinationDirs]

Files.Common=0,%InstallDir%

Shortcuts=0,%CE2%\Start Menu

Files.ARMV4=0,%InstallDir%

Files.ARM=0,%InstallDir%

Files.SH3=0,%InstallDir%

Files.MIPS=0,%InstallDir%

Files.X86=0,%InstallDir%

Files.WCE420X86=0,%InstallDir%



I found the file in:



[SourceDisksFiles]

Scubase PPC.exe=1

FISH.BMP=2

PIN.BMP=3

scubase.ico=4

Scubase.sdf=5 - Here is the file

scubase1.ico=6



And in:



[Files.Common]

Scubase PPC.exe,,,0

FISH.BMP,,,0

PIN.BMP,,,0

scubase.ico,,,0

Scubase.sdf,,,0 - Here it is.

scubase1.ico,,,0



Can you help me?

Right. All items marked as Files.Common go to %InstallDir%, which is
defined in Strings. I wouldn't have structered my INF quite this way, so
the fix is a bit of a pain to stick with theirs, but it would be like this.
First, remove the reference to the SDF in the Files.Common section. Then
add this:

[Files.Database]
Scubase.sdf,,,0

Now under the [DestinationDirs] section, add the following:

Files.Database=0,"\My Documents"

Of course that should be a localizes string, which is something like %CE2%
for My Documents, but I don't recall it off the top of my head, so I'll let
you Google for the right one.

I made the change in the inf file, then I open VS and use "Build Cab File"
to make new cab file, but then is the change I made in the inf file gone?

The "Build CAB Files" menu overwrites the INF every time. Use the BAT file
that it generates to re-gen the cabs after the first try.
