InstallAware

Is there a downloadable users guide?

I would like a listing of internal variables ($<variable>$).
How are files marked for registration?
When creating Registry entries, how is the installation directory saved? By writing the value of $<whatever>$ ?

These are just some of the many questions I have and would hope a good users guide is available.

Any information appreciated!

Thanks!!

We've got our product guides at this URL:

A listing of internal variables, and internal compiler variables is provided in the on-line help file. Press F1 and search in the help index for "pre-defined variables" or "pre-defined compiler variables" (without the quotes).

There are various ways to self-register files. You may right-click them in the Files designer and check the self-register box. Or, you may call the Register Library command in MSIcode after Apply Install.

The installation folder chosen by the end-user is stored in $TARGETDIR$ by default, of course you may customize your MSIcode and have multiple target folders and such, in which case you will need to use the appropriate custom variable.

Take a look at the CoffeeCup tutorials, these will help you out!
