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 '

Examples:

<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.

<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:).

<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.
