O7 – Strange phenomenon with SQL Server (SOLUTION)

Hi Bas, nice to hear you. I played around with this and things work indeed
if I install to c:Programs.

Then I played around with InnoSetup as I want our app to install correctly
in Program Files… If I do an install of the whole app directory, e.g.

Source: “c:MyAppDir*”; DestDir: “{app}”; Flags: ignoreversion
recursesubdirs createallsubdirs overwritereadonly; Permissions:
everyone-full

It would not copy my files correctly

But if I do them one by one like e.g.

Source: “c:MyAppDirOneOfMyFiles.xyz”; DestDir: “{app}”; Flags:
ignoreversion overwritereadonly; Permissions: everyone-full

That does the job just fine

Interesting to say the least 🙂
