I would like to install an external file.
My installer is located in
c:\somedir\setup.exe
And the external file is located in
c:\somedir\download\MyApp.exe
My code to do that is
[Files]
Source:"\download\MyApp.exe"; DestDir: "{app}";Flags: external skipifsourcedoesntexist
For some reason, Inno Setup does not seem to find this file.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.
You have two problems:
The path \\download\\MyApp.exe
relative to c:\\somedir\\
resolves to c:\\download\\MyApp.exe
, as the leading \\
goes back to the root folder. You would need to use download\\MyApp.exe
.
The Inno Setup does not resolve external file paths relatively to the installer anyway. You have to use a full path, see the documentation for the Source
parameter :
When the flag
external
is specified,Source
must be the full pathname of an existing file (or wildcard) on the distribution media or the user's system (eg "{src}\\license.ini").
You can use the {src}
constant to get a full path to the installer folder.
[Files]
Source: "{src}\download\MyApp.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; \
Flags: external skipifsourcedoesntexist
Use the {src} constant:
[Files]
Source:"{src}\download\MyApp.exe"; DestDir: "{app}";Flags: external skipifsourcedoesntexist
