hi
as you know how to create installation path entry to registry
we will utilize that here
or you can make one more entry for custom folder
than you need to create 2 script files that do work of creating folder and deleting folder
this is vbscript to create folder
strDirectory = readfromRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MIS\MEDIAPATH", "")
Dim objFSO, objFolder, strDirectory
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strDirectory)
function readFromRegistry (strRegistryKey, strDefault )
Dim WSHShell, value
On Error Resume Next
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
value = WSHShell.RegRead( strRegistryKey )
if err.number <> 0 then
readFromRegistry= strDefault
else
readFromRegistry=value
end if
set WSHShell = nothing
end function
and following is the code to delete the folder
strFolderPath = readfromRegistry("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MIS\MEDIAPATH", "")
dim filesys, demofolder
set filesys = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set demofolder = filesys.GetFolder(strFolderPath)
demofolder.Delete
function readFromRegistry (strRegistryKey, strDefault )
Dim WSHShell, value
On Error Resume Next
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
value = WSHShell.RegRead( strRegistryKey )
if err.number <> 0 then
readFromRegistry= strDefault
else
readFromRegistry=value
end if
set WSHShell = nothing
end function
now step 2
open custom action editor in setup project
than in rollback and uninstall add the script that delete the folder !!!
and in install add the script to create folder
you can add the script to copy files also !!

Hi
for 'Not enough storage is available to complete this operation..'
i can just suggest check your disk space
and make sure you have sufficient room to compile the project
for retrieving last package installation you need to create the registry in first package to write the installation path
you has to use [TARGETDIR] to set the value in registry key
and to retrieve that in second package do following
1.
Retrieve a Value from the Registry
The MediaPath value for your computer is located under the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
You can retrieve this value by using a launch condition. To do this, follow these steps:
1. In Visual Studio .NET, point to Editor on the View menu, and then click Launch Conditions.
2. In the Launch Conditions Editor, click Search Target Machine.
3. On the Action menu, click Add Registry Search.
By default, Search for RegistryEntry1 is added.
4. On the View menu, click Properties Window to select the Properties window for the registry search that you created in step 3.
5. Change the Name property value to Search for MediaPath.
6. Change the Property property value to MEDIA_PATH*.
When you run the setup project, the MediaPath registry value is retrieved to your MEDIA_PATH property.
7. To search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the registry, click the Root property, and then click vsdrrHKLM in the drop-down list box for the property value.
8. To search the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion subkey, type SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion in the RegKey property value text box.
9. To search for the MediaPath value, type MediaPath in the Value property value text box.
Use the Retrieved Value to Change Your Installation Path
To change your installation path based on the value of your MediaPath property, change the value of the DefaultLocation property for your application folder. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Switch to the File System Editor.
2. Under File System on Target Machine, click Application Folder.
3. On the View menu, click Properties Window to select the Properties window for Application Folder.
4. To change your installation path based on the value of your MediaPath property, change the DefaultLocation property value to [MEDIA_PATH]\MyApp.
now its upto you how you want to identify your key .. as mediapath or something else what ever you need you can identify that in that way
but make sure to change accordingly
* here MEDIA_PATH is name of launch condition
and we are going to use that as default location in application folder as mention above
* make sure that MEDIA_PATH is name while mediapath is key of registry

hi
I have some content in MPEG folder on my DVD after burning it. Now i want that after installing DVD package on client machine. the content of MPEG folder will copy in specified folder like(xyz\MPEG\content) on client machine.
How i will do this?
thanx
|
|
|
|
|
Hi
If you want to put your contant other than installation folder than
you need to add the folder and set the default location to some existing path from drop down like commonfilefolder (i.e C:\Program Files\Common Files\)
or fontfolder
now in that drop down you can specify path like c:\ or c:\programm files
or c:\temp
but be sure that that folder should exist on system
(always create = true works for child nodes not parent and the one you added is parent node )
now in that create another folder set always create = true
add all your video files there , build set up and you done !!
the summary as below
- File System On Target Machine
|
|_ Application Folder
|
|_ User's Desktop
|
|_ User's Programs Menu
|
|_ Create New Folder Here* ! ( Set Default Location )
|
|_ Create Inner Folder Here** !! ---> Add Video File in this folder
* Always Create = True Not work for that node
* Default location should already Exist on system
** Set Always Create = True always

Right click on your setup project select properties
You will get following fig1 as in article
now change Package files to In Cabinet File(s)
it will enable CAB Size Option
in custom give the size you need like for 1GB it will be 1048576 KB
Using Convertor[^]
so it will create files like SetupTitle1.Cab , SetupTitle2.Cab
,SetupTitle3.Cab and so on ..
now burn your cd using that cab file in sequence ..
when you start installation it will ask for not finding the next cabinet file at that time change the media and hit try again
* Note : this is not professional way as in professional setup we get such a nice prompt to change a media ,i will try for that and if i get it i will let you know
|
|

Hi
I have made an installer.Now i want to add registry.I got registry editor in Setup and deployment project where HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT , HKEY_CURRENT_USER , HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE given. I don't know how to set registry.
Can you help me?
thanx

|

|

Now its upto you where you want to make entries
if you want to make entries in startup than u can make entries in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
for this
just export one of the key form that location and import it back to registry editor in visual studion so it will create all nesesory folders
you may have
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Launches a program automatically when a particular user logs in. This key is used when you always want to launch a program when a particular user is using a system.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Launches a program the next time the user logs in and removes its value entry from the registry. This key is typically used by installation programs.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Launches a program automatically at system startup. This key is used when you always want to launch a program on a particular system.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Launches a program the next time the system starts and removes its value entry from the registry. This key is typically used by installation programs.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Launches a service (a standard NT service or a background process) automatically at startup. An example of a service is a Web server such as Microsoft Internet Information Server.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
Launches a service (a standard NT service or a background process) the next time the system is started, then removes its value entry from the registry.
so take appropriate with regards to your application
