create folder with package wizard

G

Guest

I have a database that I am packaging using the developer extensions package
wizard. I am wondering if there is a way to create a folder such as
"MyFolder" in the user's My Documents folder regardless of which Windows OS
they have installed.

Hello,

I think there is no direct method in package wizard. However, you could run
a batch file to create the folder for you by using "homepath" variable. I
recommended to modify the Setup.ini file to chain the install. This chained
install allows the users to run the install from the Setup.exe that the
Packaging Wizard creates and then it kicks off the batch file which will
create the folder for you.

You may want to refer to the following article for more detailed
information:
