    Installing two files to separate directories

    If I want my installer to install file1 to say C:\Program Files\FS9 and file2 to be installed via registration key to folder Squawkbox\Aircraft , how do i do it so that these two files are installed with the same installer?

    What I tried already is I created two separate installers, one of which installs file1 and another one which installs file2. I was thinking that perhaps I could somehow kind of combine these two installers to a one installer then, after i get them working?
    For the file2 installer I put:
    Installation directory: #Squawkbox#\Aircraft
    Root key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    Key: Software\Level 27 Technologies\SquawkBox\3\
    Subkey: SBDir (the reg-key file)
    When I tried running the file2 installer then, it just installed file2 to C:\Aircraft instead of looking up the installation path to Squawkbox\Aircraft -directory via the Reg-key. What am I doing wrong here?

    Re: Installing two files to separate directories

    I meant topic to be "installing two files to separate folders", not directories, cannot edit it anymore.'

    So if I want my installer to install file1 to folder say C:\Program Files\FS9 and file2 to be installed via registration key to folder Squawkbox\Aircraft , how do i do it so that these two files are installed with the same installer?

    pls, anyone..

    Not long ago Yves posted:
    You can install files to any directory, but only one can be modified by the user.

    To install files to the C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Program Folder\ directory, select these files in the Files list and then select the Window tab in the File Options, select Other as Install directory and enter #UserDir#\Program Folder in the box below => the files will be installed to the Program Folder sub-directory of the current user directory.

    Note: when you select a specific install directory for a file, the directory tree of the file in the source directory is ignored. I.e. for example if you want to install the file x:\ic_sourcedir\sub-dir1\sub-dir2\file.dat to C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Program Folder\sub-dir1\sub-dir2\file.dat, you have to specify sub-dir1\sub-dir2 in the destination path: #UserDir#\Program Folder\sub-dir1\sub-dir2\file.dat.
