Issue when adding a destination path to a Companion File in a Install Package

Hi,

I have a Install Package that contains a Automation Script that requires a Memory File, so I added the Memory file as a Companion File to the Manifest of the Install Package.

The issue is, since memory files need to be in specific folder (C:\Skyline DataMiner\Scripts\Memory) I am adding a "DestinationPath" tag to the manifest, but when I install the package the file is created in the folder C:\Skyline DataMiner instead of the folder that I am specifying.

What could be causing this issue and how can I avoid it?

Thanks,

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

If I am not mistaken, the manifest file of the install package does not contain the a DestinationPath tag for the CompanionFile tag(you could check this in CompanionFile). In the companion file project, you will need to place the memory file inside the 'Content' folder, following the file path where you would like to store the memory file. For example, the file should be located in Content\Skyline DataMiner\Scripts\Memory

Hope it helps.
