Thanks a lot for your interest in InstallBuilder! We have worked hard to get this version 6 out of the door, so thanks again for the kind words :)

About your specific question, the best way to do it, would be just to edit the installdir parameter, and set both into the 'value' and 'default' fields:

${windows_folder_personal}\${product_fullname}

The ${windows_folder_personal} variable is an InstallBuilder built-in variable that points to the 'My Documents' folder, so you won't need to look into the registry for the path (although if you are interested, we could also explain how to do it :)

Hi Nicholas,

Yes, most browsers on Linux/Unix (if not all) will not let you execute files just downloaded. To work around this, you can include the executable inside a .tar.gz, when extracted the installer will have executable permissions (you can also bundle a README as well)

Best regards

Hi,

I looked at your product a while ago. Looks like it's come along way! Well done.

I have a question. If I were to use the installer to package up my application for a Linux system, will the user still have to do a 'chmod' on the downloaded file when they want to execture the binary?

Kind regards, Nicholas Herriot
