Make folder hidden after Inno Setup installs it

Question

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

Fair enough, but is there a way to make Inno Setup mark the installed folder as "hidden" after it finishes setup on my end-user's machine?

Thanks.

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

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

Note that this won't really stop people from seeing it, just make it look like you have something to hide.
