Directory Chooser - when is the value available?

Right below the Directoy Chooser component, I have a Label component whose value is set to $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\subComponent - with intention that the user can see where sub-components will be installed.
When I run the installer, the Directory Chooser shows the default install location, and so does the label. However, when I select a custom location, the value of the label does not change. I have to navigate to the next panel and come back to this panel to see the changed value of the label.
How can I use the value of $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ right away after the user selects the custom location?
Regards,
Shailesh.

Hi,
Add "Set InstallAnywhere Variable" action with the variable "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$ of the corresponding value , prior to the Get User Input panel.

Hi Rajarajn,
As you see in the screenshot, there is not way to add the "Set Install Variable" action from the IA's built-in panel. Can you please shed some more light?
Thanks and regards,
Sam.
