Hi

I can not get the function
GetProfString(SRCDIR^"License.ini", "License", KeyName, svResult);
to work?!?!?

After I have builded my ISWI project to a CD i copy a License.ini file to the disk image - at runtime I would like to read data from the ini file... it doen't work!?!?!? Has anyone tried this?

In my case I copy the License.ini til the diskimages\disk1\
I try to read useing this function:

function ReadLicenseFile(KeyName, RdString, MaxLen)
NUMBERnvFileOut;
STRING svResult;
begin
GetProfString(SRCDIR^"License.ini", "License", KeyName, svResult);

if StrLength(svResult) > MaxLen then
StrSub(RdString, svResult, 0, MaxLen);
else
RdString = svResult;
endif;
end;    

Thanking You in anticipation

What error messages are you getting back?

I located the problem: It is the SRCDIR. It is not working in CustonAction Scripts i version 2.03!!!

The Solution is:
In the PowerEditor go to Directory and create new Directory:
| SOURCEDISKDIR | ....Leavefree.... | SOURCEDIR |
...and make sure that you insert the StanardAction "ResolveSource" after "CostInitialize"
(I got this solution from Erkan, Erkanc@gmx.de)

Thomas,
I tried following you reply, but my CA is not reading the SRCDIR.  Are we suppose to use "SRCDIR or SOURCDIR".   I'm running my installation silently, if I place the IN I  file in the WINDOWS directory, it works.  If I place the IN I file in the Source directory, it doesn't work.
This is the order in the Execute Sequence:
1. LaunchConditions
2.etc.

5.CostInitialize
6. ResolveSource
7. My CA

Hi

Mine woks fine...
I use ISWI version 2.03.
I have made a entry in the Power Editor,  Directory:
SOURCEDISK <empty> DIRSOURCEDIR

In my CA I just use: GetProfString(SRCDIR^"License.dat", "License", KeyName, svResult);

My action is placed in the UserInterface sequence just before the "CostFinalize" and after the "ResolveSource"

And in the Execute Sequence just after InstallValidate

Regards,
Thomas
