Custom installation folder (LV 2009)

I was instructed to build an installer from a customer for a base of existing code written in LV2009 (windows XP, Vista, 7).

The code is not well written and a LOT of hard-coded paths.  I'm not paid to recode, and I would like to avoid that if possible.

EXE must be located in c:\projects\FOLDER.  However, I can't get the installer to place anywhere but the standard Windows folders (office, Program files, etc.).

I didn't have to do an installer this before (I always locate my exe in the PF record).

Am I missing something?  I could have sworn that I've done this before.  I can find no Ko or forums about this, which seems strange (well that NEITHER research and find relevant results has been doing worse and worse)

Hi Jed,

Here is a link with some useful measures on how to define a custom installation folder.  Make sure that you make your default location as well by clicking on the folder with the Red check mark on it after you add the file in the directory.  I hope this helps!

Can I set the installation directory for an installer of LabVIEW?

    Error code 0 x 80070005 usually indicates that you don't have enough privileges or the operation is blocked. I know, some programs (Boot Camp on a Mac PC, etc.) is not compatible with Windows 7, if you have installed these programs on the computer, you may not be able to perform the upgrade. You should uninstall these programs before upgrading. In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

  • NB200 Windows 7 custom installation

    I just installed Windows 7 on my NB200 following the road such custom installation suggested by Toshiba. Once installed, I also ran the Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7.

    However, I can see the webcam installing software, or the WLAN software, I guess they must be installed separately. Looking at drivers and downloads available for the NB200 don't know what date to use as a cut-off point because I ran the Installer software, i.e. it does not install the current drivers of al or srivers up to a certain date, as is - anyone knows what he does not settle. I have had a look but can't find any documentation on what it does and what it does not install.

    Thank you very much

    This looks at the very least, you'll need to install drivers to get you on the internet. Then I suggest to let Microsoft Update to install everything what they have too. I don't know the answer to your question on what drivers Toshiba moved and you need to download it manually.

    Good luck.

  • Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.

    The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin

    No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

  • Windows XP installation folder has 63 GB of information

    I can remove this information without affecting the operation of XP?

    Safely remove the contents of this folder is depends on the software or games that is installed on your computer.
    If you remove just the entire interior of the C:\Windows\Installer folder then some programs such as MS Office or some CAD software may be unable to start, and also all the software installed with Microsoft Installer will lose the ability to uninstall or repair itself.
    To reduce the size of this folder safely, you can use "start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall all the software that you no longer use.
    This will remove the selected software itself and should remove the Microsoft Installer files cached within the C:\Windows\Installer folder as well.

    The celanup-esx command is provided to the cleaning (as its name suggests) the host after the upgrade to vSphere-ESX4 process, but there's a reason why it does not remove the esx3 installation folder?

    I can remove it without problem? or there is something in it needed by the OS esx4?

    Thank you in advance and sorry for my English...
