missing folder after installing myapplication with AppBuilder 8.5

[AndreasC]

In the project property for the installer, I created a data-folder for my application. This folder is for later use with the myapp. So during installation its empty.

After installation on the target PC, I miss the folder. Only the folder with the myapp has been created.

My system: LV8.5 full, AppBuilder on winXP SP2

Any idea?

The installer builder does not support creating an empty folder. It's a feature that's been requested for a while, and we'd like to add it, but it has not been a high priority feature. The workaround is to install a dummy file (0 bytes) to the folder. Or you could configure the installer to run a batch file that creates an empty folder. The downside to using the batch file, however, is that the uninstaller won't know to remove the folder.

It's not a bug, it's a feature

That helped.

Thank you
