Hi
When I run an installation setup I get this error

Setup Error! Could not read setup package!

Image

but if I remove this backslash everything works

Image


my default installation path looks like this:
<ProgramFiles>\<Company>\<AppName>\

I tried this default installation path. But does not work
<ApplicationData>\<AppName>

I have InstallForge 1.4.1.16 (x86)

Can you help me?

Thank you very much
Greetings Franz

Related to this: If you have your Install Forge created setup file on a mapped network drive or access it from the UNC path you get the above error as well.

Error is still occurred at version 1.4.4. If I install app on my computer from local disk everything is ok. But if I install app from mapped network drive a get this error.

Hi. I can confirm that I have the same problem on version 1.4.4. When I add a folder to the package, if there is a \ sign at the end of the installation path, the installation gives "Setup Error! Could not read setup package!" error and closes. If I delete \ the installation completes without any problem.
