How do I link installer path to Bamboo build

[AmitB]

My build create an installer exe and copies it to a shared drive. What is the correct way in Bamboo to link this path to a build such that testers could access it easily from Bamboo or Jira?

The easiest way is to make it an artifact, but that means that it will be copied to the Bamboo server and not accessed from the shared drive.

Hm... maybe capture in the Artifact the path where the installer.exe was copied to? But that would make the link to be two-click in the Jira & Bamboo I presume...

How can I include a path? Seems like Bamboo automatically looks for binary artifacts in a specific dir. I wish to just include the installer path with each build.

I was thinking about a solution where your build would create an artificial file containing just path to the created installer. Something like "echo $installer_path >> path.artifact" and later retrieve that 'path.artifact' file as a Bamboo Artifact.
