Hello!

With Automation Interface of InstallShield X Project I can create new feature and components and link it together.

I need to add folder paths to WI Directory table and link it to appropriate components.

Can I reach it with InstallShield Automation Interface or other WI scripting?

Sincerely your,
Anton Spitsyn

Use the Windows Installer object model instead of the Installshield automation interface. This object model is essentially just a way to access SQL databases (and an MSI file is as you know a database, and Installshield project files are MSI files in disguise - just the file extension is different).

Thank you!

I try to find fast and simple solution inside InstallShield X, which is Automation Interface, always when it possible.

After any idea exhausted I start update MSI database directly using WI api.
