Re: Folder Questions On UAC-aware systems, the AppData looks like this: C:\Users\arun.shah\AppData\Roaming Your code would retrieve "C:\Users\arun.shah\AppData" In other words, your idea might work on XP but not on modern operating systems. Hope this helps. Friedrich
Re: Folder Questions
Re: Folder Questions Thanks for your prompt reply! It does help. So, since I do not have acess to "Extract Root" (since I am using 7.1), I tried getting the parent folder by using : FULLFOLDERPATH=C:\Documents And Settings\Administrator Set Variable %LASTFOLDERPATH% and %REST% to FUNCTION:Split Source String at Last Occurrence of Search String(%FULLFOLDERPATH%, "\") This returns: LASTFOLDERPATH=C:\Documents And Settings -- Is that a good strategy? Do you anticipate any problems with this? Thanks, -Arun
Re: Folder Questions Hello, Support for SetupBuilder 7.1 came to an end last year on July 26, 2010, so my answers are based on the latest SetupBuilder 7.5. Answer 1: You can use Handle String Operation (Extract Root Folder) to retrieve the root. For example: Set Variable %TEST% to FUNCTION:Get Special Folder("CSIDL_APPDATA") Set Variable %ROOT% to FUNCTION:Extract Root Folder(%TEST%) Question 2: The "Handle File Listing" function lets you retrieve a list of files (but not folders). Does this help? Friedrich
Folder Questions Question 1: I am using Get Special Folder (CSIDL_APPDATA ) which returns me ( C:\Documents and Settings\[my login name]\ ) My question is how do I get the parent folder's full path (in this case answer should be (C:\Documents and Settings)? Question 2: I am using Setupbuilder 7.1. Will "Handle File Listing" give me a list of files and folders? I specifically want to traverse through all folders in a particular directory. Would appreciate any help on this, Thanks.
