Need help,i'm trying to make an installer for my vst plugin

[Rosace_Pony]

Hi,

I'm working on a small piano vst3 file
it have two samples library,
I'm using installforge to make the installer wich is free
so my question is, what files and where should i install them?
of course the vst3 file will go into /programfiles/comon/vst3/mycompany
but for the samples any idea? also will Hise be able to locate them automatically, what would be the default path for that if possible?
also when opening the vst for the first time it ask for the samples, wich one should i point to? a .ch1 file?

Thanks

VST3 on windows go as you say in C;/Program Files/Common/VST3/companyname
VST3 on Mac go somehwere else.....

HISE will ask for the samples if you havent pre-setup, so select hr1 file and it will find the rest if there are any

Build the hr files from the menu Export>Export Samples for Installer

@Lindon thanks i did build the hr1 file
now i'm looking on where to put it so the user will not have to manually point it
i see in the settings there is a "windows static lib folder" input but i'm not sure on how to what to write in ,i would need something like C:/programsfiles/mycompany

@Lorrislehorse The hr is like a zip file. The user needs to select it when they first run the plugin and HISE will extract it.
