Hello everyone,

Hopefully someone can help me out there. I'm using IS 5.1 on Windows NT.

My problem is, I have 3 copy of files to do. The first one is in lets say Directory A and uses TARGETDIR. The second copy of files is in Directory B and uses WINDIR\fonts. The third one (which doesnt work) should go in Directory C and uses a script-defined folder.

The script-defined variable is named svDirThirdOne. Now how do I copy files in two different directories at the same time? I call ComponentSetTarget for the Third Directory (setting the value) just before ComponentMoveData but it gives me an error when I execute the InstallShield (when its installing).

It does the 2 other directories fine (TARGETDIR AND WINDIR/FONTS), but not the third one..

Am I doing this the wrong way? I'm missing something here..

All help is appreciated!

Thank you in advance,
Dominic Marcoux

What error message/number do you get?
Does the directory exist that is used for ComponentSetTarget(...)?

I get an error -145. (Target path for the component or file group cannot be found.)

Altho. all the directories exists and are typed in correctly.

Did you debug and verify the contents of the variable?
Did you use exactly the same names in script and IDE?
I remember having the same problem while I used <szTarget> in the script and <SZTARGET> in component definition in the IDE ...
Maybe this helps ...
