or for multiple directories.

The Convert Source Paths dialog box appears with a list of all the directories that are
referenced in the installation.

all of its subdirectories.

5. Click OK.
The Change Source Directories to column displays the new path. If you marked
Change Sub-Directories, all directories that start with the same name as the one
you changed are renamed.
Example: If you change C:\Program Files\Application\Manual to C:\Program
Files\Application\Online Manuals, all the directories that begin with C:\Program
Files\Application\Manuals are changed.
6. To make additional changes, repeat the preceding steps.
7. To set the path type for files that you add to the installation later, make a selection
from Path Type on the Convert Source Paths dialog box.
You can set paths to absolute, relative, or UNC-based.

All parts of the installation that reference these directories are updated.
