Custom action to install based on ProductVersion Property
I want the install directory to be the [INSTALLDIR]-[ProductVersion]
I'm using a custom action to do this but when I type the above in the Property Value Field it just tries to install to the [ProductVersion].
I guess this might be a bug or maybe I'm miss using this but since InstallShield is the worst supported product known to technology I have no way to know... I don't expect any reply since this is the worst forum as well.
The Windows Installer table which stores the INSTALLDIR value is unable to read formatted strings - for this reason we can not use Properties in the value of INSTALLDIR.
We can however work around this Microsoft limitation by using a custom action in your project:
Go to custom actions view >> Custom actions >>right click and add “New Set Property” On the right hand pane configure the action with the below settings:
(you can change the above value as per your requirement)
Schedule this action after LaunchConditions in the Install UI Sequence.
