Windows Systems32 Folder
How do I get this value?
Is there a keyword for it like SUPPORTDIR?
I see it in the variables but I want to pass it to a dropdown box in a dialog.
I can't assume it is C:\windows\system32 because even I do not have a C: drive mapped. I always change it.
thanks

For an InstallScript project, perhaps see if WINSYSDIR contains the value you want?

Brillant!
That was exactly what I wanted. For the future, what site or documentation did you find that?
I tried a search but only got a specific page with no links going anywhere else for SUPPORTDIR keyword.

The InstallShield help library has an InstallScript Language Reference section; WINSYSDIR is listed in that section under Variable Data > System Variables...

It should also be available in the help library under InstallShield's Help > Contents command; as an aside, that should have more recent information than the version 9 help library in that link...
