Is it possible to have InstallShield copy files that are not included in the build package?
Specifically, I would like to create a build that my customer will deliver to various recipients on a CD or a downloaded Zip file. However, he would like to also include some text files that change frequently. Rather than create an entire new build each time these files change, is there any way to copy these files from the setup source (CD or temp extracted zip folder) when the build is successfully installed?
Currently, I have the application copy these files once the application is initially run. However, this does not always work if the system requires a restart, since the temp zip file folder is gone by the time the application is run.
(I am using InstallShield Express ver. 2.13)
