If the issue is a registry key or something that includes the file path, you could use the property [!filename] to get the short filename of "filename" and write that to the registry. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx for more information on the formatted text type.
However this sounds like a problem that needs to be resolved in the application, not in setup. The only solution would be to write a custom action to perform the check, in which case chances are that you'll be writing more code than a developer would to fix the bug in the first place :) Sascha On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 5:41 PM, S.P <iraniangirl9...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear All,I have a problem with publish element, which couldn’t find its > solution.
