Getting environment variable as path variable
Hi,
I have a path variable in my installshield that holds the installation folder (called MyInstallationFolder).
I want that variable will take the value from the User environment variable called DevRoot and I want it to be updated before I compile my Installshield project.
Any ideas ?
Thanks, Ido

1. Create a “property custom action”
2. In the property name enter your installdir variable e.g INSTALLDIR
3. In the property value filed enter the environment variable name within [%..] e.g [%Env]
4. Schedule this CA before “CostFinalize” action

I tried with the form of but it doesn't succeed.
thanks, Ido
