I have an installer set up as InstallScript MSI. I need to install the files in an existing folder in Program Files. I have the path and I set TARGETDIR to the path C:\Program Files\Dir\SubDir However, the files are being copied to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dir\SubDir instead.
My installer needs to install the files on a Win XP or a Windows 7 OS. It reads the path from a registry entry (for software that is installed with a separate installer first). I've printed via MessageBox both INSTALLDIR and TARGETDIR before the call to SdStartCopy2() function is called and they are as expected on my test system (Windows 7).
Why are the files being installed in the Program Files (x86) folder regardless of TARGETDIR and INSTALLDIR?
If the INSTALLDIR is set to something like [ProgramFilesFolder]Dir\SubDir, then depending of the Architecture of the target OS [ProgramFilesFolder] will be interpreted as below: C:\Program Files(x86) for 64-bit Operating systems and C:\Program Files for 32-bit Operating systems.
