installer must copy files to a directory

Hello,

 

I have a installer and I want the installer to copy files from a folder when installing.

 

Where must I add the source and set the destination where the files must be copied to?

Hello,

 

Its easy, First you have to add your file (Here, Test.txt file I have taken) to your project, then you have to add your required file at your specific location where you want it to be after installation at "Source Files" tab (Here, I have choosen C:\Program Files\Untitled Project 1\Test.txt) while configuring installer (as shown in "File.png" image). so by this way after the installation process completes you can see your file at your location.

Hello Vinal_G,

 

Ok now I have to manually add new folders and drag the vi's in it.

This is very time consuming.

 

If I will add a new vi's I will have to search which files are new which is also time consuming.

 

Why can't I drag the project folder to the right?

 

Would it not be easier to first build a packed library(I don't have an executable) and add this packed library in the installer?

 

gr,
