UNC Path in the Directory table
Maybe somebody here can help me out on this.
I'm using Wise Package Studio 7.x
I need to set a UNC path as the working directory for a shortcut. When I did the setup Capture, WPS set the path to c:\myserver\myshare\myfolder. What I need is \\myserver\myshare\myfolder.
I went into the Directory table and found this:
Directory -> Parent -> Default -> Full Directory
myserver -> TARGETDIR -> myserver -> myserver
myshare -> myserver -> myshare -> myserver\myshare
myfolder -> myshare -> myfolder -> myserver\myshare\myfolder
So I modifed the myserver entry so that the parent is empty and the default is \\myserver, but WPS puked out an error about an "Invalid Argument". The MSI compiles but fails to install with a 2714 error.
What magical incantation do I have to do to set a UNC path up in the Directory table?
Thanks.

first of all gtimlin you are looking in the wrong place
if you have messed up your msi with all that hacking then I suggest start again
what you want to do is this
go to the property table and create a property
property value
WORK | \\server name\unc path
go to the shortcut table and in the workingdir col change the value to WORK
that's all you need to do
cheers

Yep. That was it. I actually started looking in the shortcut table and was halfway there before I re-checked the forums.
Thanks for the help!
