SB5: Remember Installation Folder Between Installs??

My code 'appears' to match what you have but SB5 is not pulling the last
installed path. It is using the default install path. I am lost. Can you take
a look at my SB5 file and see what I am missing?

Also, when I insert the Detect Previous Install script item, can it default to
using the Product GUID by itself since that is already defined to the install
script? That way we / I don't have to copy & paste it. I know this is a small
item but it helps.

Thanks

Of course! Please send your script to friedrich (at) lindersoft (dot) com.

But I am going home now (it was a long night and I look like a Zombie <g>).
I'll be back tomorrow morning.

Good idea. I'll add this.

Thanks,

One more item. After I install my application, I search the registry for my
product GUID and it is not found. I can find the SB5 Develoers GUID but not my
install programs. WHy isn't my GUID in the registry?

Thanks.

Do you have the uninstall capability enabled?

Yes, and that works fine.
