Multiple specified directiories

[David.Tooley]

Hi, I am trying to simplify one of our installations by pushing 2 app installers into 1.

the only thing stopping me is the fact that i cannot seem to figure out how to set 2 or more MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY uses.


Example

App1 and App2 combined into one installer... i want to set App1 to a custom location and also App2 to a different location, both different than each other and different to the default install dir.


Currently I get the 1 MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY page and it allows me to choose a different folder which will then install App1 and App2 inside.


Please if someone could help or share some advice, i would appreciate it.

Thanks
David

Just use 2 MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY entries, and specify a different variable (using !define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE) to hold the directory picked for each of your two components.

e.g.

code:


var InstDirOne

!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $InstDirOne

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY



var InstDirTwo

!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE_VARIABLE $InstDirTwo

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY

Make sure you use those variables in your components instead of $INSTDIR

oh.. just to add - if you would rather have 2 directory fields on 1 page, you'll have to create a custom page yourself using e.g. nsDialogs or the older InstallOptions(2/Ex)
