Path outside installer path

Hi guys,

I just want to know how can I change $OUTDIR var to path outside installer path?

I tried to use this dummy code but it didn't work! it gave me "..\src" where is should be c:\src where the installer sited in c:\bin

    SetOutPath $EXEDIR

    SetOutPath ..\src

    MessageBox MB_OK $OUTDIR

Don't use relative paths, i.e. use $EXEDIR\..\src. If someone runs your installer from a different working/current directory you will have problems.

This didn't fix the issue, it gives me the path only! I just want to change current path over the installer one.

Your note is absolutely right but I'm using two installers so I'm sure there will not be any problem in paths.
