Install SpeedFolder Action

InstallAnywhere 2021

You can use an Install SpeedFolder action to dynamically pick up files at build-time from a folder. All files are installed in one fast operation. SpeedFolders are especially useful for large installations with many files or builds that occur automatically.

Specify the following options in the Install SpeedFolder customizer:
