Hi all,
I am creating a basic MSI project. I need to register few exes and dlls which are located on the target system. But i donot know the path to those.
I know the SOURCEDIR path from where my .msi will be executed and my exes etc will be situated a folder above this path. e.g. if my msi is being executed from C:\ABC\MSI\abc.msi then my exes will be situated in C:\ABC\XYZ.
How can i use this path and how can i find it. Please help. i have no idea how to go about it. How can i take one folder above the SOURCEDIR path.
Urgent help required. Please help.

String Manipulation..
If 'SOURCEDIR' is 'C:\ABC\XYZ' truncate all the text after last '\' and you are done.

hi,
Thanx a lot for the reply.
But while making the MSI I m using the path as SOURCEDIR. and i am not sure that it will be C:\ABC\XYZ. So i just have SOURCEDIR property with me. Then how can i manipulate it.
how can i tell my MSI that the exes is at the path C:\ABC\Install using the SOURCEDIR path.
The path can be anything. It could even be in any drive, any folder. So how to go about it.
Thanx in advance for help.
