I’m using Inno Setup for an application setup. Many of the data files that will be included with this application are stored on a Microsoft Sharepoint server. When I try to use the path Sharepoint provides in the ‘Source:’

[Files]
Source: http://teams/sm/Symbols/*; DestDir: {app}\Symbols

I get the following error on compile:

Unknown filename prefix: “http:”

How can I properly call out a Sharepoint location as the source for my data files?

I’m using Inno Setup version 5.4.2

EDIT

I know what the documentation says.

I am looking for a solution to this problem. I am using InnoSetup, the files are on SharePoint; how can I make this work?

EDIT 2

Thanks to brian brinley. Below is the exact syntax that I used in InnoSetup thanks to his answer:

[Setup]
SourceDir=\\teams\sm

[Files]
Source: \Symbols\*; DestDir: {app}\Symbols
Share

    SharePoint Libraries support WebDav so you can go to the library that is containing your setup files and open with explorer. Since you didn’t specify which version of sharepoint, here are both options.

    SharePoint 2010 – open the library, click on the library tools/library tab in the ribbon, and select “Open with Explorer”

    SharePoint 2007 – Open the library, click on actions and then select open with windows explorer.

    Once you open in explorer you will have the path. If it opens with http:// you can simply replace with \ i.e.. \myServer\myLibraryName
