Qt IFW - Add folder to the user TargetDir

LHPixel

I need to add One more folder for all files because sometimes user can choose For Example To the Desktop and Desktop will be full of files . - I want to fix this adding one more folder to the targetdir (that the user selects during installation)

@LHPixel the simplest method, put your whole application with the dlls etc into a folder and make the IFW over that folder :D

@J-Hilk This wouldnt work because files like "installerResouces" , "installer.dat", "components.xml" will be in the previous folder)))

If i do this, then i need to somehow get the installer to delete these file xD

J.Hilk

@LHPixel you're right, thats a problem

SO I looked into the documentation and I found this:

https://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/qtinstallerframework-modifyextract-example.html#modifying-target-path

does that solve the issue for you?

@J-Hilk For some reason it just makes your first idea)
