installer directory case

[stbert]

Hi,

I use the LabWindows CVI 9.0 installer to add a hierarchy of files and directories needed by my application to the installation path. 

Everything work fine unless the installer does not keep the case of the directory.

This is a problem since my application interface with linux and the directory case makes the difference.

Is there a way to force the installer to keep the same directory name (and case) of that in the source directories tree?

Thank you very much in advance for your help

There was a bug (#165285) that caused subdirectories of the application directory to always have the names transformed to lowercase when installed. This bug was introduced in version 8.1 and was fixed in version 2009.

Because the bug only affected subdirectories of the application directory, you can avoid this bug by setting the application directory to another arbitrary, dummy directory in your distribution. The downside of this workaround is that when the installer is run, the user will be able to change that the path to that dummy directory, instead of the root directory of your application. To avoid confusion, you might want to disable that directory selection page of the installer. To do so, you must manually change the value of "SingleDirectory" in the distribution's setup.ini file (right next to the setup.exe file) from 1 to 0.

Let me know if you have any trouble.
