Editing A File

vrunda · 3rd March 2003, 12:50

hello,
I am creating a setup through which i need to install mysql.I do it by running the .exe file of mysql setup. when the .exe runs,the setup asks for a folder for installation.I need to edit a file in the mysql dir after installation,if the user changes the dir name/destination,how will i be able to know the final installation dir and it's path for mysql, so that to open the file.
I hope i have made myself clear.
thanks in advance

Have a look at this example:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/....php?pageid=17

It replaces lines in a text file.
