File chooser defaults
I want to ask the user for a filename, defaulting to one that is acquired via Query Installshield Universal Software Info. But the stupid chooser has me having to select the drive IN THE DIALOG. What if they installed the other software on E:? What if their install drive is different from the drive chosen for the new installation? Neither "System Drive Root" nor "Installation Drive Root" can be correct. If it just didn't have the drive mentioned, then I could put in $MY_VARIABLE$ as the default and it would be perfect (which sort of works: I get C:\E:\InstallLoc for my default, so it's at least reading the variable...) And someone who wanted to default based on hard-coded text could just, well, duh, type in "C:\whatever..." Is there anything I can do?

I figured it out. I need to set $USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_1$ to my proposed default, and use that for the "drive", and leave the "folder" part blank.
