Can InstallScript access Directory table?

I have an InstallScript MSI project that I am trying to rewrite as an InstallScript project. As part of the original project, directory paths are retrieved from the Directory table through MSIGetProperty calls. Is there some equivalent function I can use to retrieve the paths from the Directory table in the InstallScript project? If not, what other option(s) do I have for accesssing the path names in my InstallScript?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea how to access the Directory table from an InstallScript project? Is it possible? I can add values to the table through the Direct Editor, but how do I read them during the installation process?

I'm a little confused by your question. An InstallScript project does not use or contain an MSI table. The InstallShield IDE may use the direct editor, but the compiled project does not contain a database.
