I did some work on this today but am still getting the error message \'sorry can\\\'t install setup. stopped by user.\'  I have not cancelled the installation at all so I am not sure why I am getting this message.

bde is not created or either of the directories which were supposed to be created.

I added a [Dirs] and changed the bde to {app}\\coindata which I think should be correct.  I have attached the new script.  Sure would appreciate any help in getting this to work!
