Hi
How can I make the default install folder be the clarion version chosen then
\3rdparty ? (eg g:\clarion6\3rdparty)
Thanks,

Dave,

Place the 3rdParty folder under "Application Folder" (Files and Folders
Visualizer -> lower left list).

Does this help?

Hi Friedrich,
I think that when I do this, the user is told that things will be installed
in the (for example) g:\clarion6 rather than the g:\clarion6\3rdparty
folder, which can be confusing as I have certainally changed the dialog so
that it says g:\clarion6\3rdparty, and the installer has put stuff in the
g:\clarion6\3rdparty\3rdparty folder !

I made a new variable %DSB%
I made the [installdir] equal to %DSB%\3rdparty
I put %DSB% in the "store clarion folder in variable" box of the clarion
dialog.
in the clarion registration demo 2,
If I display [installdir] on dialog2, I get g:\clarion6\3rdparty but the
dialog box on the select install folder just says \3rdparty.

What am I missing ?

THanks for your help !

Hi Dave,

You can use the following:

[ User Interface ]
! Wizard dialog definition(s)
Define Wizard Dialog "#1" (Welcome)
Define Wizard Dialog "CLARIONDETECTION" (Clarion Environment Detection)
Define Wizard Dialog "#3" (Select Install Folder)
Define Wizard Dialog "#4" (Ready to Install)

! The Wizard Loop displays the dialog screens that the user sees in the
installation
Loop Wizard
Wizard Auto Break

If %_SB_DIALOGID% Equals "$CLARIONDETECTION$" Then
Set Variable %_SB_INSTALLDIR% to "\3rdParty" [Append Value]
Display Message Box "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%" -- ""
End
End

The Clarion Environment Detection dialogs asks for the Clarion version
(store the Clarion Installation Folder in variable %_SB_INSTALLDIR%, that is
on the Advanced tab). Then the 3rdParty folder is appended inside the If
statement.

In this case do NOT place a 3rdParty folder under "Application Folder"
(Files and Folders Visualizer -> lower left list).

Does this help?

Thanks, Friedrich!
Works perfectly, of course.
Cheers!
