Create Folder part deaux

[NewsArchive]

Friedrich,

If use Create Folder function for the case where a user enters a new folder
that does not exist how does this function work? For example, none of the
following folders exists (except the drive):

M:\ProgramData\RFI\CoolApp\Data

Is there an issue with creating this? Assume that %DATADIR% is set to the
above folder, then what happens with the following code:

Create Folder "%DATADIR%"
If %_SB_ERRORCODE% Equals "0" Then
Display Message Box "The install was not able to create the data
folder..." -- "Creating the data folder failed"
End

Will the entire folder structure above be created? Or do I need to do
something else?

Russ,

Yes, this is the correct way to handle this.

Note: %_SB_ERRORCODE% will return "0" (failed) if the folder already exists!
To handle this scenario, use:

If %DATADIR% File or Folder doesn't exist Then
Create Folder "%DATADIR%"
If %_SB_ERRORCODE% Equals "0" Then
Display Message Box "Creating the data folder failed yada"
End
End
