hi, i am having this same problem...
e.g. my installer is call "Something" which gets installed to c:\Something. I have got sub directories within this directory. Each subdirectory has a few more directories and subsequently lots of files(about 50 files) in each subdirectory. at the moment i am doing this <File Id="F27" Name="FILE127.txt"/> . All i want is a wild card that can just pull all the files from "c:\Something\Core\Txtfiles\*.*" then i can just do this for all the subdirectories. IS there something like this ???? and the link was broken to the other forum thingy. cheers Siva.
