distribuition can't change Installation dir

[d.ghisla]

Hello,

I am using CVI 9.0.0.

I need to change the Installation directory for my application.
I read your faq posted in http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C5D3DABE71DFDD9986257545005A9959

but in "All installation locations" i can't find the "directory" voice. I can choose only some directories, but I can't create a own directory.

Thanks

Daniele

The "All Installation Locations" list contains pretty much anything you might need, unless you want to hard-code a location like E:\MyApp\.  However that would not be a good choice for an installation package, as you can't be sure a target machine even has a drive "E:".

What sort of location are you trying to specify?

I'm guessing you probably want  to select "[Windows Volume]", which will resolve to "C:\"  99% of the time.

P.S. You might also want to use GetProjectDir() in your app to ensure you handle all scenarios for different installation locations.
