How to copy the installer binary itself to another location during install
Hi,
I am currently using InstallAnywhere 2008 and wondering if anyone knows how to copy the installer binary itself to another another location.
e.g. User executes install.exe (Built with IA2008), add an installer action to copy this install.exe to another location while installing.
I think it would do the trick if I can detect the location/path of the installer biniary during installation. Is there a variable that stores this information?
Thanks in advance.
