Get target folder from registry value

Hi

I trying to build an installer that gets a folder path from a registry value on the target machine and then puts a file shortcut (linked to an installed file) into a subfolder of that folder.

After having spent some time on this I'm not sure anymore if that is a possible thing to do with InstallShield 2012 Express. I found hints about how to do it with the Premier/Professional edition but not with Express.

Can someone confirm that there is no built-in functionality in the Express edition which allows paths from the registry?

(Currently my best try is to use a custom action exe which moves the shortcuts into the right folder. But that is not working yet either...)

Thanks for any hints!

AFAIK, the only built-in options in ISX are the 25 Predefined Folders.

Glen, thank you very much for your input. So I guess I will have to live with my current approach and implement a custom action exe.
