Display 'New Folder' while browsing for Install Directory
My app. DLL must be delivered to an existing sub-folder of a third-party's installation. When user is presented with the Select Install Folder dialog and elects to Change the location, they see a Windows standard Browse for Folder dialog.
The Browse for Folder dialog has a Create New Folder button. But I don't want user to be able to create a new folder, choose only an existing folder. Is it possible to remove that button from the folder browser dialog?

Hello,
No, you can't suppress the "Make New Folder" option.
Question: why do you display the "Select Install Folder" at all? As I understand it, you have to install into an existing third-party folder. So if you know that the 3rd-party product does exist then you also have the installation location?!

- There may be several versions of third-party app. installed
- Each installation has a distinct name

Aha, okay. I understand. So you do not auto-detect the 3rd-party product but let the user select it manually.

I'd like to auto-select. However, I haven't yet figured out how to find the most recent version of third-party's app. It requires non-trivial Registry searches.
Consequently, I ask user to select the version of third-party app. they want to install into. Since user is able to create a new folder, my app. could be installed into a location where third-party app. would not find my DLL.

Hello,
I have added a new option to the "Select Install Folder" dialog :) See attached screenshots.

I've updated to v8.1.4550 but don't see that option.

Hmm, I see this in my Select Install Folder dialog properties (see attached screenshot).
And you do not have the new "No 'Make New Folder' Button" checkbox in your properties?
