INSTALLDIR is not C:\Program Files (x86) if user Select C:\Program Files for 32-bit
Our setup program lets users specify the folder to install the program. If they choose C:\program files on a 64-bit system, our INSTALLDIR value is set to that. However, the files get installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder. We need the INSTALLDIR variable (or some other variable) to reflect the actual folder name where the file is installed since we need to update registries, shortcuts, etc. to reflect this.
How do we get the actual folder name when InstallShielld makes that change behind the scenes? Thanks.
