Database Folder Dialog

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

The Database Folder dialog displays the destination location of any database files that your installation installs. For example, if you create an installation for networked users and you want to install a common database for all users, you may want this database installed to the network rather than locally on every machine. You should use the DATABASEDIR setting in the General Information view to set the default destination folder for database files.

This dialog is optional and is not selected by default.
