I'm trying to create a folder within the temp folder that doesn't have a random name.
Here is how I was trying to create the folder within the temp folder.
if not DirExists(ExpandConstant('{%tmp}\Utilities\SDK')) then
CreateDir(ExpandConstant('{%tmp}\Utilities\SDK'));
Log('Temp\Utilities\SDK Folder Has Been Created.');
I had a look at this thread, but even with the %
, unfortunately, it still doesn't create the folder.
The script compiles and runs as expected, however the folder doesn't create even though it says it has in the log file,
I understand that the log file will say that because its told too, however, if the folder was unable to be created, wouldnt it crash? or return a false if an if statement was present?
With CreateDir()
You must create dirs one after the other and not a dir structure at once.
if not DirExists(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Utilities')) then
CreateDir(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Utilities'));
if not DirExists(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Utilities\SDK')) then
CreateDir(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Utilities\SDK'));
if DirExists(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Utilities\SDK')) then
Log('Temp\Utilities\SDK Folder Has Been Created.') else
Log('Temp\Utilities\SDK Folder ERROR : NOT Created.');
Inno Setup has a function to create a dir structure at once
function ForceDirectories(Dir: string): Boolean;
Example:
if not DirExists(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Utilities\SDK')) then
ForceDirectories(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Utilities\SDK'));
Also keep in mind :
