how copy directory project path installation path during installation.
this rather simple question complicated answer...
do have features defined? have components defined? have directory structure defined?
here suggest...
<feature id="filesfeature" level="1" allowadvertise="no"> <componentref id="c__file1_exe"/> <componentref id="c__file2_dll"/> .... </feature> <directoryref id="targetdir"> //this director defined somewhere else want install <component id="c__file1_exe" guid={some_unique_guid}"> <file id="__file1_exe" name="file1.exe" keypath="yes" source="{path_to_your_file}"/> </component> <component id="c__file2_dll" guid={some_unique_guid}"> <file id="__file2_dll" name="file2.dll" keypath="yes" source="{path_to_your_file}"/> </component> .... </directoryref>
