- Issue
- A file (for example, a text file containing release notes) which is extracted to the $PLUGINSDIR can sometimes not be opened in another program (i.e. notepad.exe) at the end of the installation.
- Cause
- The installer immideately removes the $PLUGINSDIR directory and it's contents after the installer quits. This causes any file which resides in the $PLUGINSDIR directory to be deleted when the installer quits, while the program tries to reach it.
- Solution
- You should place the file(s) in a permanent directory, like the $TEMP directory or the $INSTDIR directory.
