Hello,

Recently I bought a license for Capesoft's Chrome Explorer.
When I add those subdirectories to the Setupbuilder: "Would you like to
recursively add all sub-folder" ... I want that so click "yes", but all those
directories and subdirectories are empty. Chrome Explorerhas a lot of files
in those subsirectories...e afe hondred. Do I realsy have to add those by
hand ?

Hi Piet

For File Explorer, what I did was to add all those tiny files in a zip
archive, include the archive in the SB installer, and use SB's "Unzip
File(s)" function to extract everything to the right folder during the
installation. It runs very fast.

Hello Piet,

in the upper left browse of SetupBuilder you have the folders you want to add.
In the lower left browse of SetupBuilder you see the added folders.

Put the focus on the empty folder lower left.

Now add one single entry in the lower right browse. Here in "File Properties"
you go to the "File Linking"-tab. In the entry "Source Folder" you place either
the absolut or relative path to your data and in the entry "Source Filename /
Include the following files: (Wildcards accepted)" you just put *.* and thats
all.

Add the root folder with the folders AND files option. See attached.
