I am trying to use setup builder. After installing I want it to copy a file
from the cd we sent to the installation directory. It isn't copying or
giving a error message.

I am using copy local files.

for destination I have %_SB_INSTALLDIR%\coverag.dat

I think this should be okay. I believe my problem is with the source.

source coverg.dat I have also tried .\coverg.dat

Any ideas what I am doing wrong in this case.

Gary,

If it's located in the root of the CD drive:

%SRCDRV%\coverg.dat

Does this help?

Friedrich - what would it be if I want to copy from the same location as
the install program is run from.

Thanks

Gary,

Just use "Get System Information (Installer Path Name)" to retrieve that
folder.

For example:

Set Variable %SOURCE_DIR% to FUNCTION:Get System Information(Installer Path Name)

Then you can use:

%SOURCE_DIR%\coverg.dat

Does this help?
