View Full Version : Install path not cleared

I am not sure if this is a problem or not.

I copy a download to my desktop and then run the install from there. When I
start my application for the first time only, the application path seems to
be set to the desktop for some strange reason.

However, the application runs fine, it is just some settings seem to have
the desktop path attributed.

Is there anything in SB that could cause this strange phenomenon?

Oh sorry, I just realised, this only ever happens if I run the application
using a check box at the end of the install, run straight after the install
finishes. So I guess the application thinks it is being launched from the
desktop. Do I need to set current path (in this case) to the install path?
If so how?

Many thanks

John,

In the "Run Program" function, do you have set the correct Default
Directory?

FYI: just checked this here on three machines and the installer passes the
default directory without any problem to CreateProcess and/or
ShellExecuteEx.
