Files View and Directory References

Postby Superfreak3 » Tue Apr 10, 2007 4:19 pm

Is there a complete listing of the directory properties as displayed in the Files View? Would My Documents folder be $MYDOCUMENTS$, for example.

Here is where our files are currently directed....

Global Assembly Cache
My Documents
$PROGRAMFILES$\\Our Directory
Windows\\Profiles\\Application Data\\Our Directory
Windows\\Profiles\\Start Menu\\Our Directory.

I was just wondering what current values InstallAware may have that I can use, such as $PROGRAMFILES$.

All of them are documented. Please refer to the manual under "Predefined Variables" section to get an idea :D

Check out "Get Folder Location" in the Help File.

Which manual contains the 'Predefined Variables' section you mentioned? I can't find that section in any of the .pdf's I've downloaded.

Help appreciated!

Thanks!

Also, I would need access to the property that holds the Product Version information. Would this be $ProductVersion$.

In an .ini file I need the computer name on which the installation is occurring. I need this for a share path name of \\\\Computer Name\\our folder. Currently, I placed a Get System Setting action for Logged on Computer Name and place this into a ComputerName variable. Will this work?
