Re:Install Shield Express Question....

heh, that feels odd, like I'm writting to myself. Anyways... Yes
it's possible. Actually, ISE only replaces files with newer files by
default. So you have to actually use the Version information of your
project so that on future updates ISE will actually replace the existing
previous files, if you don't it won't replace them.. As of how do you
put something in the system directory? In the part that is labeled
Specify Components and Files, is where you specify what file groups get
installed where. If you want a series of files in the system directory
create a group for it and in the destination directory select
<WINSYSDIR>.
I agree, I searched for that information before, and had a hard time
finding it, I pretty much figured it out by Trial and Error, Eventually
I did find the info (I don't recall where) it it agreed with the results
of my experiments.
Hope this helps.
