Specifying Hard-Coded Destination Directories

InstallShield 2016

In the Files and Folders view, you can specify hard-coded destination directories.

Specifying Drive Destinations

To specify a particular drive:

1. In the View list under Application Data, click Files and Folders.
2. In the Destination computer’s folders pane, right-click Destination Computer and click New Folder, or click Destination Computer and press INSERT. InstallShield adds a new folder.
3. For the name of the folder, type the drive letter followed by a colon (for example, C:).
4. Press ENTER.

Specifying Folders and Subfolders to Create a Destination Path

You can specify folders and subfolders beneath a drive letter folder to create a hard-coded destination path:

1. Right-click the drive folder (for example, C:) under which you want to add a folder or—to add a subfolder—right-click the folder under which you want to add a subfolder. You can also click the folder and press INSERT.
2. For the name of the folder, type the folder name, and then press ENTER.

Quickly Creating Destination Paths

To quickly create a nested destination path:

1. Right-click a folder and click New Folder, or click a folder and press INSERT.
2. For the name of the folder, type the destination path—for example, a\b\c. This creates a folder structure with a at the top, b below a, and c below b.
