installing on win 7 and 8 and 10
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2015 12:20 PM

I when I install my application with Innosetup creates a folder "Data" in Programmi86 and works well only that the application should create a folder "Data" and this other subfolders with files DBF.

in programmi88 \ family this folder there is (and is not even hidden) but the program works well in linking all archives

so I assume windows insert the DATA folder in another url of disk but I not Know where

the user needs to backup archives How I can do make to say from my app to create on folder .\family\data and not on other place ?

Silvio,

the main installpath :

c_path := cFilePath(GetModuleFileName( GetInstance() ) )

from there You can define Your subdirectorys like

c_path1 := c_path + "SYSTEM\"
c_path2 := c_path + "IMAGES\"


A button with image would look like :

@ 25, 396 BTNBMP oBtnP[1] FILENAME c_Path2 + "User.bmp"

it is the way of my sub-directory-defines with NO problems at all

best regards
Uwe :-)
