Suite install - Access environment variables
Is it possible to access environment vaiables when building text strings in the suite installer ?
In particular I want to get the setting of 'SystemDrive'. I've tried various combinations of %SystemDrive% or [SystemDrive] with no success.

Not directly, but you can write C++ code to get this sort of thing. See some of the blog posts, particularly Extension Conditions and later, for some ideas.

I thought someone was going to say this...
Anyway thanks for the suggestion. Time to get my hands dirty with some C++.
