Combination of registry fetching and aditional dir

[CosmicD]

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to instruct install creator to first fetch an install directory from a registry key and then add an extra dir to it.

Let's say I fetch "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods" as a result from this key:

Root key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key:software\valve\steam\
Subkey:sourcemodinstallpath

but i want to put /mymod behind it, so it becomes c:\program (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\mymod.

I know you can just enter this as install dir but many ppl have their steam dir different but I still need to be able to install the mod in their soundsmods/mymod dir.

Is there a semaphor to include like #registrydir#\mymod so it fuses together to the desired result ?

Hello,

You cannot do that, sorry.

Workaround : create a mymod sub-directory in your source folder and move all your files to this directory.

Thanks, well it actually makes sense if I think about it, because most installers will do that (place their dir in c:\program files\ without really showing it. I just hope it won't be confusing for ppl if they are going to add the dir themself because they think everything is going in the base sourcemods folder.

I'll just hav to make a it very clear in the installer text.

thanks.

If you don't want people to modify the directory name, you can select the "read-only" option in the Options tab.
