Installation type
BladePack creates a directory structure in the target directory and copies files into the tree. When you build an interactive installation package for Windows™, BladePack calls InstallShield to process the files and create CD-ROM and diskette images. When you build a file tree installation, BladePack creates the file tree specified in the project in the target directory. A file tree build is useful for debugging the BladePack project.
After you successfully build an interactive installation, the target
directory contains the subdirectories described in the following table.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| tree | The root of a directory tree containing files
to be included in the installation package. The tree directory
can be used to debug problems in the installation package. This directory is compressed into a single archive called files.z in the cdrom directory. |
| cdrom | Contains an image of the installation package
that can be transferred to distribution media. DataBlade® module
developers can rename this directory to the name of the DataBlade module
before creating a .tar file. This directory contains Setup.exe and other files that support an InstallShield installation. |
| disk1, disk2...diskn | Contain files needed for an InstallShield installation, with files split to fit on 1.4 MB diskettes. The disk1 directory contains Setup.exe and the files required to begin a diskette installation. |
| support | Contains copies of files to support the installation, such as project files, .dll files, and bitmap images. Its contents are not distributed with your installation package. |
| folder_tree | Contains a directory tree containing the contents of all of the directories to be included in the installation package. The contents of this directory are not distributed with your installation package. |
