Files View and Directory References

Superfreak3 · Post by **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

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?
