Windows Installer API's are not recognised.

Hi,
I have been using Installshield 2008 in which I have been Migrating all My projects from "Installscript MSI" to "Installscript" projects in which none of the "Windows Installer" identifier are working. (e.g) WindowsFolder, ProgramFilesFolder... Is there any link which could provide an equivalent Identifiers for all "Windows Installer" Identifiers.

any help would be greatly appreciated

The help topic "System Variables" lists the predefined InstallScript system variables, and the topic "Convert InstallScript MSI Dialog Box" mentions MSI properties not supported in InstallScript projects.

I'm not aware of a table that matches up the two lists, but some equivalents are:

ProgramFilesFolder => PROGRAMFILES
CommonFilesFolder => COMMONFILES
WindowsFolder => WINDIR
SystemFolder => WINSYSDIR
DesktopFolder => FOLDER_DESKTOP
INSTALLDIR => TARGETDIR (usually)
