User Folder Info

The User Folder Info window is used to set the attributes of a User Folder script item. This window is opened when a new User Folder Item is created from Script:New Item:User Selected Folder. It is also opened when a User Folder script item is selected and Script:Edit Item... is chosen.

A User Selected Folder is a script item which causes an installer to prompt the user to select a folder for installation. These items can be added anywhere in the script where you want to give the user control over where items are installed.

The User Folder Info window contains the following items:
