InstallWizard Directory Specifiers
One of the biggest considerations in creating a setup is accounting for the
differences between the various target systems of your users. You have no way of
knowing where a particular user will want to install your application, nor even
where the main Windows and System directories are on that system.
For that reason, InstallWizard includes a set of directory specifiers which are
replaced by information about the user's system during the installation. They
are used whenever you need to express the location of a file after it has been
copied to the target system.
Note.: The "Default Destination Directory " will apper in the '
Choose Destination Location Dialog '
<Windows Directory> This specifier is replaced with the main Windows
directory on the target system (e.g. C:\WINDOWS).
<Shared DLLs> This specifier is replaced with the Windows System directory
on the target system (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). If the target machine is running
Windows NT, this specifier will indicate the SYSTEM32 directory if you have a
32-bit setup.
<Windows Disk> This specifier is replaced with the drive letter of the
disk containing the Windows directory (e.g. C:).
<Program Files> This specifier is replaced with the Program Files
directory on the target system (e.g. C:\PROGRAM FILES). In Windows 95, the
Program Files directory location is stored in the registry under the "ProgramFilesDir"
value name.
<Common Files Directory> This specifier is replaced with the Common Files
directory on the target system (e.g. C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES). In Windows
95, the Common Files directory location is stored in the registry under the
"CommonFilesDir" value name.
