HI Firends.

while installing the application am excuting one .bat file.
in this .bat file second line is working.it is creating the Folder in the desktop.
if i hardcode the value it is working.But if i didnt hardcode the value and excute the .bat file like this $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ it is not creating folder in the installation directory.

This should read something like that:

mkdir $USER_INSTALL_DIR$$\$DEF"
copy "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$\$ra.dll" "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$\$DEF$\$ra.dll"

There is no such thing as $//$, only $\$ or $/$ is a valid option. And by the way I strongly urge you to read the InstallAnywhere manual. You're doing things in this .bat file that can be natively done in IA (like a folder creation, and copying a .dll into it).
