Make folder hidden after installing Inno Setup

Question

My application has a folder with files, all of them are marked as "hidden" (including the folder itself). However, Inno Setup will not copy them for installation unless I first remove the hidden attribute.

Fairly honest, but is there any way to make Inno Setup the marked installed folder “hidden” after the installation is completed on my destination machine?

Thanks.

See the Attribs parameter for entries in the [Dirs] section.

 [Dirs] Name: "{app}\blah"; Attribs: hidden; 

Please note that this will not stop people from seeing this, just make sure you have something to hide.
