Support files / directory
I am not very familar with the support files option. Perhaps someone can shed some light on it.
The InstallShield Help mentions that "SUPPORTDIR" is a variable available in InstallScript, but am not using InstallScript custom actions.
Scenario
I have a file that is for installation only, and not left on the customer's computer. I run a custom action (exe) that takes a file path to this temp file.
I was wondering if there is a property (similar to INSTALLDIR) where I could use it in my custom action's target (ie. command line arguments to the exe).

There should also be a [SUPPORTDIR] property for MSI projects; please see the help topic "Placing Files in the .msi Database and Extracting Them During Run Time".
