Sub folders wtih package wizard - developer

T

Tim J La Fazia

I am using office deveoper extensions 2003 to create packages.

I can't find a way to create multi-nested folders. I am only able to create
the install folder in program files and then nested folders within the
install folder. I am unable to create folders within the nested folders.

I can -

C:\Program Files\Install folder\Sub Folder

I can't -

C:\Program Files\Install folder\Sub Folder\SubSubFolder

I feel I must be missing something. This should be possible, but when I
import my files into the wizard and try to set up the folder structure I
can't go nest within Program Files more than twice.

Any Ideas?

Hum, perhaps consider using a free installer like inno
(that is what I use)

Inno does allow you to setup that structure.

thus, you create your runtime install using the wizard (but only include the
runtime).

For the program part, you use inno, and include your above package in your
inno install.

You can find the inno installer here:

The main reasons why I use inno in place of the package wizard is that
shortcuts generated by the package wizard are incorrect if ms-access has
been installed to a different directory then he default one. There is also
provisions for including sub-folders in the install. There is nice
documentation, and even a support newsgroup for inno that you can ask
questions...
