Trying to create an installer for Asp.net web app using basic msi project. I want the user to specify where the database files need to be stored, i.e local directory if sql server instance is on the local machine or on remote machine where the sql server engine is installed.
I've added the DatabaseFolder in the sequence, but I can't see the predefined folder 'DATABASEDIR' under files and folders. I need this predefined folder to add my database files.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

One not quite obvious way is:
In Components view, create a new component.
In the destination setting, select [INSTALLDIR]Database\ from the drop down box.
This will make a folder named Database show up under the INSTALLDIR in Files and Folders view. By right-clicking this folder you can verify that its identifier is DATABASEDIR.
Don't forget to associate the new component with a feature in Setup Desgn view.
