A SB 101 question:

I want to allow installation into any user-defined folder under
CISDL_PROGRAM_Files. (see attachment)

Up to now I have suggested the folder Linked Software.

Because it is good form to allow the user to name a new folder I provided
that dialog.

Problem is because of my ignorance it turns out that if they change the
folder the installed files turn into a pig's breakfast.

So how do I suggest Linked Software but allow installing into another
sub-folder?

I know it's easy, just not for me.

Thanks!

I think you're making it too complicated, Lynn... unless you're insisting
the user install in a folder inside Program Files.
Why not just use the defaults and let the user pick his installation
location as shown in the attached?

Making things too complicated is my specialty. <G>

Thank you Jane I'll have a look.
