How to pass the target directory to an EXE custom action?

[varphi625-x]

Hi,

How do I pass the target directory to an EXE custom action? In a VS2008 setup project, this directory is passed through the CustomActionData property, using the value /targetdir="[TARGETDIR]\".

Kind regards,

Carlos Mallen

Hi Keerthana,

I need a custom action to add my Visual Studio Tools for Office applications to the inclusion list. See the link below:

I need to know what value does the target directory take in order to perform this task.

Thanks,
