Title: Source from a drive?
Post by: (Unregistered Guest) on November 14, 2005, 10:23:21 PM
I would like to get my source files from a drive.
 
my drive is for example E:, but on an other compuer it could be an other variable.
 
is there a chance, how i can manage it?

The same way you would from Windows Explorer, you would map a drive or use the UNC path to the computer. Of course you would need to have priviledges to use that computer.
 
You would have to be clearer on what you are attempting to achieve since this is normal operations for computers.

No, There is no uniformity from computer to computer  in which you can name the parameter. If you keep the same path structure, then all you need to do is to change the drive letter in your iss file.

okay, thats for your answer.
 
i have an other question too ^^.
 
i would like to copy for example one file, which shouldnt be added with source to the setup. i dont want to have i big setup.exe, some files should be extern and the setup has access to the files and copy them to my {app} foldert too.
 
is there a solution for it? :>

Check in the help section of Inno Setup. There is a flag called external that will not include it in the setup but you can include it on you CD.
 
Look under the [Files] Section for information on flags.

What do you mean you can't find it? You can't find the help section or you can't find the [Files] Section in the help section
