Create empty directory with installer

Status: Declined

Hi

 

It would be nice if it was possible to create a empty folder with the installer.

 

I have an application to handle some files that are generated by other applications. Therefore I require that there is some specific folders which these programs can place their files in.
I know I can create them by placing a dummy file in the created folders, but I think it is a mess with non relevant files.

This could be done by the installer, but what if the user delete or rename the folder ??  (Users do that...)

 

I think you should create the folder with your application to make it more safe.
