Skip non-existing source files when compiling inst

Question

In the [Files] section, I have to achieve that by trying to compiling a file that does not exist, the compiler does not fail and follow its course.

For example in this code:

[Files]
Source: "D:\{#pais}\{#modulo}\IMG\image.png"; \
    DestDir: "{userdocs}\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default\{#senseAppDir}\IMG\"; \
    Flags: ignoreversion  

If the file image.png doesn't exists, I want the compiler to skip it and continue.

Thanks for your time!

Answer 1

There are two options:

1. Use skipifsourcedoesntexist flag:

   Source: "D:\{#pais}\{#modulo}\IMG\image.png"; \
       DestDir: "{userdocs}\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default\{#senseAppDir}\IMG\"; \
       Flags: ignoreversion skipifsourcedoesntexist
   

2. Use preprocessor directive #ifexist:

   [Files]
   #ifexist "D:\" + pais + "\" + modulo + "\IMG\image.png"
   Source: "D:\{#pais}\{#modulo}\IMG\image.png"; \
       DestDir: "{userdocs}\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default\{#senseAppDir}\IMG\"; \
       Flags: ignoreversion 
   #endif
