$SFXPATH$ does not work properly in InstallAware X12
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2020 3:56 am
Hi,
We're moving our software products from InstallShield and are now in search for new good setup building platform.
Recently I've installed InstallAware to play with.
In our scenario we need to check if there is a specific .txt file placed near the compressed setup file. As I understood from help, $SFXPATH$ variable should return path to the uncompressed setup file. But in my case it returns some temporary path (see screencap below)
My compression settings are following:
I have InstallAware X12 installed on some virtual server with Windows Server 2016
What am I doing wrong here? And what is the correct way to get the path to the compressed setup file during the installation?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Tamara
