How to get the Bootstrapper's filename (ie: Setup.exe)

Hi all,

In a Basic msi project using a 'setup.exe' Bootstrapper, how can I get the path AND filename of the 'Setup.exe' that was used for the installation?

(We want to name our 'setup.exe' something like 'OurProduct.v2.00.00.exe')

The 'SETUPEXEDIR' property gives the path to the bootstrapper, but it does not give the actual filename of the bootstrapper... 😞

For the moment, we're using the 'OriginalDatabase' property to find the extracted msi, but the 'setup.exe' would also be of use.

Does anyone know of a way to do this, in a Basic MSI project?

TIA

Have you tried SETUPEXENAME? The path and file name:
[SETUPEXEDIR]\[SETUPEXENAME]

THANK YOU !!!! THAT'S EXACTLY IT!!! 😄

(Seems rather obvious now, in retrospect... why did I not think of that myself?:o )

Tx for the quick reply!
