However, I have a DATA folder that needs to be on the CD separately (not compiled into the setup program). It is placed on the CD separately by my client right before distribution so that the latest data is available. Then it is just copied to the app folder at installation ("Program Files\CompanyName\AppName\Data" - though it will be actually be another place to avoid issues with Vista not letting you write to files in the Program Files folder).

Hi Russell

Can you use the external flag for this in the [Files] section, my actual code for such files placed outside of the installer

;only if they are present in the others folder under the projectcode eg. C99
Source: {src}\..\..\..\Others\{#VSOProjCode}\*.*; DestDir: {app}; Flags: external skipifsourcedoesntexist sortfilesbyextension touch overwritereadonly ignoreversion recursesubdirs replacesameversion

Hope this helps.
