But luckily, this is very easy done in Visual Installer. In the tip below we show how to do this.
How to change source folder paths for a group of files
1. Start Visual Installer and open your Visual Installer project file (.VIP file).
2. Open the List – Replace – Replace source folders menu item (see picture below).
3. Enter the existing folder path and the new folder path in the dialog box that is shown.
