Location of Installation Media

[K1pp3r]

OK - It's late, I'm tired but I need to get the drive letter of the installation media - various media files are left on the cd/dvd and I need to check for existence on running the installed product - I guess it's obvious and I'm going to look stupid but don't care.

Please Help!!!

Here is piece of code that will help you get the DRIVE from which the installer in runnnig:

Code: Select all

Set Variable DRIVE to 
Parse String $EXEDIR$ into Variables DRIVE and  (Split at first occurrence of pattern)

Here it is in a way you can copy and paste it:

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Parse String~
~{94FDCCC6-A641-49DA-B305-FA1E6888C794}~
~$EXEDIR$~
~\\~
~DRIVE~
~~
~0~
~FALSE~
~TRUE~
~Set Variable~
~{BEB0240E-53F0-43BC-BA45-7B2452CB32ED}~
~DRIVE$MYAH$MYAH$FALSE~

Variable DRIVE will end up with D:, E:, F: or whatever the drive for your CD/DVD is.

Thanks for that - I got up the following morning - rationalized my searching and found the full list of internal pre-defined variables, so now I have my answer and more besides !!!
