ShowProgramFolder Example

InstallShield 2015 » InstallScript Language Reference

Note: To call this function in a Basic MSI setup, you must first create a custom action for the entry-point function, execute the custom action in a sequence or as the result of a dialog's control event, and then build the release.

/*--------------------------------------------------------------*\

*

* InstallShield Example Script

*

* Demonstrates the ShowProgramFolder function.

*

* ShowProgramFolder displays a folder, then changes the state

* of the folder.

*

* Note: This script will not run properly if the program folder

*       "Startup" does not exist.  Either create a program

*       folder called "Startup" or set the constant FOLDER so

*       that it references an existing program folder.  In

*       addition, the specified folder should be closed or

*       minimized when you run this script.

*
