What would be the most efficient way to produce a report of the folders that were created as a result of the installation of an application. I have the paths to the folders and I need to create a report verifying that requisite folders were created as a result of the installation.

Thanks,

I installed an application using the wizard and the documentation for the installation references several folders that need to have been created as a result of the installation, mainly within the Program Files folder. How can I run a task that would show me the folders and subfolders of the C:\Program Files\Jack Henry & Associates in a report?

Hi,

Instead of gathering the several folders and reviewing them at the server, I would edit the fixlet that the wizard generated and set its success criteria to check that it worked.

Use the fixlet debugger on test machines to establish the right criteria, but something like this should be the right general direction:

q: exists folder 
"C:\program files\jack henry & associates"

Note that this is 32 bit only, it might be wise to plan for 64 bit and weird redirections and what have you:

q: 

if x64 of operating system then (exists folder (value of variable 
"ProgramW6432" of environment & 
"\jack henry & associates")) 

else (exists folder (value of variable 
"ProgramFiles" of environment & 
"\jack henry & associates"))
