    Post SetupBuilder question about file structore

    Hi All:

    I was wondering if it was possible to either with a checkbox in the visualizer modes or scripting it out to compress all the files an installer needs in .ZIP files at the root of the CD and based on the componets selected by the user programatically extract them? The folder structure would look something like this on the CD:
    D:\
    D:\Setup.exe
    D:\resources
    D:\resources\EULA.rtf
    D:\resources\readme.rtf
    D:\data1.zip
    D:\data2.zip
    D:\data3.zip
    D:\setup.bmp
    D:\... (any additional files I want to stick on the installer media)
    and on and on it goes?

    Hello,

    Missed that thread, sorry

    Yes, you can let the compiler (via the Script Editor: #zip files... compiler directive) create ZIP files (including folder trees) and then let the installer decompress the ZIP file(s) at runtime. Absolutely no problem. If you need an example, just let me know and I'll create a demo project.

    Wow! thanks :-)

    Pleas a demo project is definitely in order since that concept might go right over my head.
