sleepnmojo Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 If you aren't using the tool, you can do it this way.Under [Options]SourceFiles=SourceFilesThen this is where you add directories.;directories here[SourceFiles]SourceFiles0=D:\tmpSourceFiles1=D:\tmp2SourceFiles2=C:\winnt\system32;files in the directories here, make sure none are duplicates;ie, no picture.jpg in SourceFiles0, and another in SourceFiles1[SourceFiles0]porno.mpg=porno2.mpg=[SourceFiles1]picture.jpg=picture2.jpg=[SourceFiles2]uxtheme.dll= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimao Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Would this work to make folders in your favorites folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Well, if you want to use it for favourites, and to store directory structure and all that, IEXPRESS can do it, but is not the best tool.Using a WinRAR archive (SFX) will be easier instead - you gain in some ways - better compression, the commands passed during EXE running are clearly readable (if you use IEXPRESS to make a switch-less installer, you can't come back later to that EXE and check on what switch the setup is run with).

GreenMachine Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I was never able to make IEXPRESS create directory structure, though I do believe that it should be able to. The best solution I have found is to include a CAB file, which I then extract using EXTRAC32.EXE.There really should be a way to have the directory structure, as and IEXPRESS package is basically a .CAB file, and a few commands, tacked on to the end of the extractor (WEXTRACT.EXE, I believe).

MHz Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Iexpress uses inf installer method. Tested with divx 3 and works.A quote from willypad help states:How to create a folderWhen you try to copy a file a non existent folder, it will be created automatically. If you wish an empty folder, it's really simple, create a shortcut as shown above, and place it in the folder you wish to create; then erase the shortcut as shown...Creates the use for Iexpress if you are into inf install creation.
