Creating A Folder On A Volume Other Than The Startup Volume

[johnmiller1950]

Greetings All,

I am writing an installer stack for my program. I want to be able to copy the program to a folder that I create on a volume other than the startup volume.

Revolution won't let me set the defaultfolder to a folder on a different volume (at least I haven't been successful,yet).

Also, I get an error message when I try to create the folder specifying the folder location.

What hasn't worked:

1. create folder "/Mac OS X Utilities/My Folder"

2. if I manually create the folder "My Folder" then the following doesn't work.

set the defaultfolder to "/Mac OS X Utilities/My Folder"



Any Suggestions?

Thanks
John Miller

Hi John,

hmm, works for me! But looks like there is the "/Volumes" prefix missing in your script.

This works for me ("Ablage" is my external harddisk)
...
create folder "/Volumes/Ablage/Ab33333"
...

This one also:
...
set the defaultfolder to "/Volumes/Ablage/Ab33333"
...


Regards

Klaus

Klaus,

Thanks for the input. I should have remembered the "/Volumes" prefix
