Column |
Description |
|
Check Box |
To add an application path for the component, select the check box for the executable file whose application path you want to define. |
|
File |
This read-only column shows the executable files that are in the selected component. |
|
Application Path |
Enter a sequence of directories that the executable file should use as a search path for its DLLs (whether linked to the executable at build time, or loaded with the LoadLibrary API). Separate multiple directories with a semicolon (;). Do not use hard-coded paths, such as C:\MyDir, for one of your paths. Instead, use Windows Installer folder properties in square brackets, as in [INSTALLDIR]MyDir and [CommonFilesFolder]MyProgram, or the name of the component after a dollar sign, such as [$ComponentName]. The Windows Installer resolves these values and writes the resulting locations to the application path key. |
