Can't create directory. Why?

[KraigWhiting]

I'm new at this. In addition to the standard type installation, I would like to create a directory and place some files in it. Looks very straightforward.

I have a working install program. I went to the script editor and in the [ Create Folders ] section, I added the command Create Folder "c:\creativeII". Then, in the [ Install Files ] section I used the Install Files command.

But when I run the install program, it chokes and says "The target directory CreativeII is not writeable or accessible. The installation cannot continue."

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Also, my app is intended to run on a network using shared data. The local directory I am trying to create is for user specific files. Are there any problems with hard coding a location such as C:\CreativeII ?

thanks.

Kraig,

The message says "The target directory CreativeII is..."

Please note that "CreativeII" does not have any drive letter ;-)

I think it's your default installation directory that causes the problem.

Does this help?
