Hi all,

my customer wants a setup (until tomorrow) where the program is not installed into "c:\program files" but into the directory "C:\HisCompany\Test".

First question: I have already a msi-file and Orca (no InstallShield or so). What do I have to declare in which table to force the installation into this directory?

Second question: the only thing that could be changed would be the drive-letter, but the path has always to be the same. If it is not possible to make the drive-letter flexible, I will provide two setups for him: one for drive C: and one for drive D:. I know that thats bad style, but I have to have the setup until tomorrow.

Please help anybody. Thanks!

For this you need to use the directory table to modify the installation directory as required. You can also use a SetProperty (before completion of costing) or a set directory (after costing) to change the desired directory.
If you have a dialog to set the destination directory then you can attach an event to do this for you. This way you would not need to hardcode either C: or D: or any other drive letter
