Packing folder with Inno Setup compiler

Question

When I compile the setup file, it adds the files from the lib folder, but not the folder itself. See the image. But what I want here is that it should add the lib folder as well as the files inside.

My code is

Source: "E:\AMS\lib\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion

Answer 1

Just install the files into a same-named folder:

Source: "E:\AMS\lib\*"; DestDir: "{app}\lib"; Flags: ignoreversion

Note that you obviously expect the Inno Setup to somehow magically determine that the E:\AMS is a "root" source folder. And consequently that it should maintain a directory structure below it. But there's no way in Inno Setup to set such root folder. All entries in the [Files] section are independent. So even if you have an entry like the one below, it won't change a thing:

Source: "E:\AMS\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion
