Add all the files as support file at building installer, Yes . the path would be changed before built a installer. but you can make a experiment(a sample) to see the changed file path to build an installer. and shape them.

Hi,

       See enclosed, you must select a support file path, and add support file in it. try it

Hi,

I think after you do the above two steps you can as well go to "installer settings" and then go to "files"  then say "Add file" make sure that the "source path file" points exactly to the location of that particular file, so that when ever you install, you can dump that file as well.

Try it!!!

I follow the two step to intsall,and I found there add a 'data' file ecxept 'install' file. and the 'data' conclude the  *.doc

I copy this two file to another computer and setup my code and run it.but I still can not open the *.doc. is it the path of 'data' wrong?

Hi,

You have to build a path programatically using the function "current vi path" and make sure you install your word document in the same folder as that of your vi or the vi library. For this installation to happen during the program, you have follow the step that I have told in my previous post.

Try it out.

cheers.
