#57 Invalid Destination Directory in install

[derupe]

Hi,

The default directory pre-populated in the installation jar (for ant-installer) is set to "C:\C:\Program Files\AntInstaller-beta0.8" on Windows XP.

The "C:\" is repeated twice and so it fails to create the folder ...

regards
Conrad

ok. here's the fix for this -

Modify (in the svn repository) AntInstallerSvn / build / installer / antinstall-config-selfextract.xml

Change the attribute defaultValueWin from
defaultValueWin="C:\${env.ProgramFiles}\AntInstaller-@ant.install.version@"
to
defaultValueWin="${env.ProgramFiles}\AntInstaller-@ant.install.version@"

<directory
property="installDir"
defaultValue="/usr/local/AntInstaller-@ant.install.version@"
defaultValueWin="C:\${env.ProgramFiles}\AntInstaller-@ant.install.version@"
displayText="Select an installation directory"
create="true"
checkExists="true"/>

If you want to fix this in your jar file (that you downloaded). Make the same change in antinstall-config.xml (in the root of your jar archive).
