    installing external files ?

    hi all,
    i have a demo working of my app and i want to create an installer for it, now heres the problem.
    I want the intsaller to install to C:\pointsinfo\
    within this folder i have two other folders "pdf" and "pointsinfo".
    How do i get the installer to include the pdf file's the app references and install them in the C:\pointsinfo\pdf\ folder

    And the same for the rtf doc's referenced in the C:\pointsinfo\pointsinfo\

    so that when installing the app all the files are in the correct place and folder, so the app will work correctly.
    the installer i am getting is only 703k in size and the pdf file's alone weigh in at over 9mb so i am assuming that they have not been included ?
    I mus be doing something wrong can someone please explain how to do this.

    If the PDF file is used only in expressions in the event editor, it won't be included automatically in the installer, you have to install it manually.

    In the application properties, click Install Settings, click Add below the Files list, add your PDF file. And then select it in the Files list, select the Windows tab, select "Other" as install directory and enter #InstallDir#\pdf in the box below. The file will be installed to the pdf subdirectory of the install directory.

    Thanks Yves that worked a treat, i found it even easier if i created the pd and pointsinfo folders within the MMF2 installation dir, moved the files to there and followed your advice above. Once again many thanks
