Hello.

Why don't you try the following code.

Environment Variables Example
http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield18helplib/GetresEnv_variable_example.htm

InstallScript Engine has changed since Version 2010 for Unicode. So, some legacy code may not work.

( In this case, 2012 Example code uses WPOINTER instead of POINTER. )

If you use the Environment Variables view in the System Configuration view group (which goes into your MSI installer's Environment table) instead of writing directly to the registry, you might avoid the need for that script.
