I'm making my first installer. I need to install files to a file path that is stored in a registry entry. How do I create a variable path to install to using the data from the registry?
Instead of using a custom like it says in this document, I just put this in the INSTALLDIR field in the General Information view:
[MY_SYSTEM_SEARCH_VARIABLE]
This is a much simpler way than creating a custom action. I also had problems following the steps outlined in the above pdf document. I kept getting an error stating that "part of the file path was too long". The other way of doing, without a custom action, worked like a charm.
