Hi,
I use InstallShield 2009 Pro and I use a Basic MSI project.
I search the best solution to do this: In my installation, the user adds in a window a list of firms he wants to manage. He can add one or a lot de firms. But, for each firm a directory must be created with a pack of files (600) and a lot of directories inside.
How can I do that?
I have thought to do this:
1. I use the table DuplicateFile but how can I add the rows dynamically in this table and how can I add it?
2. I use a process C# dotnet in the Customs Action which copies the files and directories.
Do you have other ideas and which one is the best for you?
Thanks for your advices.
Best Regards.
Daniel Luxembourger

You can add table rows dynamically using Installer SQL commands. A sample can be seen in this article: "Using Dual ListBoxes as Replacement for a Multi-Selection ListBox" at http://www.installsi...stBox/index.htm (it dynamically adds rows to the ListBox table).
Aother option would be to leave this kind of configuration work (if it is) to the application itself during first start. Maybe your users would even want to add more firms later?
It also depends on whether you need to remove these files during uninstall.
