Hi,
 
I need to change the default path from where the installshield Compiler picks up the setup.inx file . I want to do so because of the following reason:
 
I don't want space in the name of the 'Script Files'  Folder, so I renamed it as ScriptFiles. After renaming the folder and inserting the script files manually in the the install script files, when I build the project , It make another folder by the name 'Script files' and places setup.inx file in it. So I changed ISCompileOption_OutputPath to path_of_scriptFiles in Installshield table in Direct editor. Now the compiler is placing the setup.inx file as required in ScriptFiles and donot make any folder named 'Script Files'. 
 
But now the problem is that It is not able to find to setup.inx file while compiling. So I need to Change the path from where IS picks up that file..
 
Any Help will be of great use,
 
Thanks,
Sukrit

You could try using the compile.exe command line options.

Hi Stefan,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Actually, I intended to ask something else.

 

I want to know how can I provide a Custom path to build command for the SETUP.INX (not setup.rul) file, so that build READS the setup.inx file from some location other than default. I have already changed the destination location, where Compiler outputs setup.inx File.

I'm not sure there's such an option. If there's nothing in the docs, you probably have to use the standard.

Thanks again, for the reply. Actually what I want to achieve is remove space between name of 'setup files' folder. Could you please give any input on this. Any info will be helpful.

I guess you mean "script files" and I don't think you can change that. Why would you?

Thanks for the correction.

 

I meant 'Script Files' Only.

 

Need to remove this space as our CM Process has a limitation that it cannot have a space in folder name. 

Currently we are facing build issues in CM build process because of this space.

 

Is there any alternate.

 

Thanks,

Sukrit
