CreateFolder Table

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The CreateFolder table contains references to folders that need to be explicitly created for a component.

The CreateFolder table has the following columns.

Column	Type	Key	Nullable

Directory_	Identifier	Y	N
Component_	Identifier		N

Columns

Directory_: External key into the Directory table.
External key to column one of the Directory table.
Component_: External key into the Component table.
External key to column one of the Component table.

Remarks

These folders are created when the component is installed. An attempt is made to remove such folders only when the component is uninstalled or moved to run-from-source, not just when the folders become empty. Folders created by the installer but not listed in this table are removed whenever they become empty.

This table is referred to when the CreateFolders action or the RemoveFolders action is executed.
