Using pendrive/repository as repository for installer.

Porchezhiyan E

Hello,
I'm new to Qt.
I'm a working in a project.The installer of the application works only if the repository files are present in the root of a pendrive connected to the target PC and the pendrive name should be same as the project name.Now in order to solve some issues in the application i have to use the later versions of the installer framework(3.0). if I use the later versions i get the error 'atleast one repository should be enabled or valid'. if I use the old installer framework the installer works. I tried finding where to look for solving this issue but could not find any lead. please guide me how to proceed with this issue.
config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Installer>
    <Name>Project name</Name>
    <Title>Installer name</Title>
	<RemoveTargetDir>true</RemoveTargetDir>
	<MaintenanceToolName>UnInstall</MaintenanceToolName>
	<RepositorySettingsPageVisible>false</RepositorySettingsPageVisible>
	<CreateLocalRepository>false</CreateLocalRepository>
	<ControlScript>controlscript.qs</ControlScript>
	<DependsOnLocalInstallerBinary>true</DependsOnLocalInstallerBinary>
	<RemoteRepositories>
     <Repository>
             <Enabled>1</Enabled>
     </Repository>
	</RemoteRepositories>
</Installer>

thank you.

Hi and welcome to devnet forum

This is merely a user-driven forum. The use of Qt installer framework is apparently of less interest and therefore has also little expert feedback.

Since this question seems to be very specific and I would recommend to raise it on the dev mailing list. Possibly someone there has an idea.

Actually the Installer framework I used was customised i.e. the source code of the QTIFW was modified to suit the need and then the required QTIFW binaries are rebuilt from the modified source.
