View Full Version : Detecting app installation folder



NewsArchive

Some techs are installing my app into folders not approved by me.
Particularly on Win7 and Server 2008 machines.
Is there any way that SB can detect the app location and set the path to
that automatically during installation?
App is always placed into the data folder to make the backup of the complete
package easy. UAC is always turned off on W7 and Server 2008.
Thanks
Nev

Yes, no problem. The "Detect Previous Version..." script function lets you
detect the path of a previously distributed version of your product.
