Hello,
I have all kinds of problems with a run from source installation. The
biggest problem is the fact that the installation directory is not
standard adjusted to the source location.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="JustcroftDir" Name="!(loc.ManuFolderName)"
ShortName="!(loc.ManuShortFolderName)">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="!(loc.AppFolderName)"
ShortName="!(loc.AppShortFolderName)">
<Directory Id="binDir" Name="bin"/>
<Directory Id="TESTFILESLOCATION" Name="testfiles"
ShortName="TESTFILE" />
<Directory Id="qt45Dir" Name="qt45" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
So for example, trying to set the ARPINSTALLLOCATION is incorrect when
the user does a run from source:
<CustomAction Id="StoreInstallLocation" Property="ARPINSTALLLOCATION"
Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]" />
Is there some kind of standard guideline to handle such a case? Note: I
have been mucking around with custom actions and trying to avoid relying
on INSTALLLOCATION as having the correct value, but things started to
become rather complex and fragile.
Thanks,
Theo
