how to include a folder while packaging?

[fluffy]

hi
Is it possible to include an entire folder while packaging my application using the package and deployment wizard?

Early in the Wizard steps there is an Included Files dialog. You can add files here and later set the Install Location path for each one, which can be something like:

c:\myfiles
-or-
$(AppPath)\myfiles

... etc. You probably already know this.

But there is nothing in the Wizard to add a group of files by folder all at once.

However nothing prevents you from creating a package, then manually editing the PDW script file (project.PDM) to add a bunch of files there. You could even create a simple tool for doing this.

Then you'd just repackage using PDW with this modified PDM file.
