Re: can someone show me how to do this please
Well, you can simply specify the path for the files in the Files section. If you look at the files you already have under that section you have something called DestDir: where it then says {app}; which means the destination should be the folder the user selects to install the files in. However you can specify an absolute path there, and the destination folder will be created by the setup program if it doesn't exists.
However I would not recommend that you create a folder like this directly on the C: drive for example since it requires that the user actually have a C: drive and that it is large enough to install anything on. It would be better if you just created a subfolder under the path the user has selected.
