InstallAnywhere variable for Computer name?

[Frenchy]

What is the InstallAnywhere variable for Computer name? I am looking for something like $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ that I can replace at run-time that will translate into the computer name. There is a windows property called 'ComputerName', but I do not know how to access it. From searching I see that we can use something like

$lax.nl.env.ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_NAME$

Would $lax.nl.env.ComputerName$ work?

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You could use a very simple custom code in order to let Java try get the Hostname (I guess this is what you would need): you could use InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()

thank for the help, if I have to use custom code i will but I would think that there would be some IA variable set at run time that would have this information.

I've tried %COMPUTERNAME% under Windows XP and it works... not sure about newer Windows versions, you'll need to try...

Thanks for your help. Yes it does work. The environment varible just needs to be in all CAPS.

$lax.nl.env.COMPUTERNAME$

Works. thanks again.
