User-defined path for each feature

Hi,
I have the following need:
for each feature the user must be able to select the installation path.
The features do not have a common path between them, because it is a cumulative setup (websites, programs, Windows services).
Basically I do not have a single APPDIR, but each one for each feature.
How can I do it?
I tried several times but I did not succeed.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks
Catalin

Re: User-defined path for each feature

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Since each feature is in its' own an installation package, I'm assuming you have added them as prerequisites.

If each package was created with Advanced Installer, then it should be quite easy to set the install path.

However, if not, then each package should have a parameter that we can pass in order to set the install path.

For instance, for a package created with Advanced Installer, we can pass "APPDIR=<somepath>". However, for packages created with other products, we should check whether such parameter is available. If it is not, then I'm afraid this scenario is not achievable.

Best regards,
