Hello,

I created a "multi installation build" and I'm working with variables so that I don't need to change created setup file names etc. But can you tell me how can I add different source folders and desktop shortcuts for EACH software.

How I tried to solve it:

I added a source code step with the following code:
$body$

uint Software1 = 0
uint Software2 = 0
uint Software3 = 0

if "$appname$" == "Software 1"
{
Software1 = 1
}

if "$appname$" == "Software 2"
{
Software2 = 1
}

if "$appname$" == "Software 3"
{
Software3 = 1
}

Then in the Dialog Installation Processing I tried to check $SoftwareEasyInvoice$ for true/false (1/0) but it's not working.

Can you give me a hint please ? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Use Set Variables command

Variable: SoftwareEasyInvoice
Value: 1
If Condition: "$appname$" == "Easy Invoice"

Variable: SoftwareVATValidator
Value: 1
If Condition: "$appname$" == "VAT Validator"

Variable: SoftwarePrinterAdmin
Value: 1
If Condition: "$appname$" == "Printer Admin"

Now you can use these variables in other commands.

How to specify different Installation Files.
Define some global variable in Preprocessor - Multi Build and assign it to corresponding source files

For example,
Variable: srcpath
Setup[default]: c:\Easy Invoice\*.*
Setup[2]: c:\VAT Validator\*.*
Setup[3]: c:\Printer Admin\*.*

Now, insert one Installation Files command with
Source Files as $srcpath$

Some useful links

$varname$ is a global variablewhich you specify in Multi Build
but all other are local variables with #varname# as a value.

Thank you for your help !

Earlier I used another program and yours is much more powerful - love it. Great software.
