How to define whole directory instead of single files that should be installed
*at first: sorry for my English

I have a problem, I need to install large amount of files, that are divided in more directories, and the mass of files is too big to write and define them all with "file"

I need to define 4 folders, that should be just copied to a installpath.

with "file test.txt" I got something like "take this file, include it into my install.exe and then extract it to a directory chosen by user using that install.exe"

and I need "take this and this directory include it into my my install.exe and then extract it to a directory chosen by user using that install.exe"

I hope you will get, what I mean.

Include File directories and their contents
Hi, you probably want File /r <directory>
That will similarly include the directory and all it's subdirectories. File also allows for [partial] pattern matching, just for your information. Otherwise, refer to the user manual for the File directive, though I think what you want is File /r
Enjoy,
Dave :)

By the way, the /r is for Recursive (recursively include files/directories).

That's it, thank you very much ... I was browsing the manual but I don't get it. (lamed)
