Package And Deploy Adding a Folder

[PITBULLCJR]

Is there a way to make the Package and Deploy thing add a folder to the destination so like if you had something called
myexe.exe and myfolder and you wanted the PAD thing to add both of them to the destination is this possible?

To make your own folder use the MKDIR function:

MkDir "C:\MyDir"

Good luck,

If I understand you correctly... to have PAD add a folder during setup, change the install location when prompted by the PAD wizard and the folder will be created during setup.

Ok I don't think I was clear at the time so here is what I want PAD to do I want it to put the myexe.exe in the path the person provided and then in that same path put a folder called myfolder so that in the drive they provided there is an exe and a folder. Is there a way to do this if not I will just have to do what Digitalerror said to do

Doesn't look possible, unless there is a file inside that folder. Installing an empty folder looks to be a no-no with VB. I'm assuming you, say for example, want the following:

StartMenu
<-Programs
<----MyProgram
<---------MyEmptyFolder
<---------My.exe

Look into installshield...It looks like it can handle this.

I don't want it in the start menu but you have like the right idea i will use your example
->C:\
-->program files
--->My project
---->myexe.exe
---->myfolder
thats what i am looking for thanks but i looked at installshield and that is like 1000 dollars well a little under and I don't have that kind of cash
