    Hi *,

    I'm using the following code snippet in an QtIFW installscript:

    var appDataPath = installer.environmentVariable("APPDATA");
    var lrModulesPath = appDataPath + "\\Adobe\\Lightroom\\Modules";
            
    component.addOperation("Mkdir", lrModulesPath);       
    

    Any ideas why component.addOperation("Mkdir", lrModulesPath) creates a file not a directory?
    What am I missing?

    Platform is Windows.

    Thanks.
    Regards

      I cannot reproduct that, the installer addOperation simpy calls QDir::root().mkpath(dirName)
      https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.9/qdir.html#mkpath
      Could you double check that the file with that name did not already exist? Then QDir::mkpath probably is not able to make the folder with the same name
