Does anyone here know if the .iss InstallShield files have any folder variables e.g Windows has %systemdrive%
because when i create a .iss file for my Unattended Windows the file has the path listed as

CODE

szDir=C:/Program Files/*********

when i want it listed like

CODE

szDir=<installshield system drive variable here>/Program Files/*********

because a lot of the time my partitioning makes the windows drive different e.g G: instead of C: therefore making some of my silent install programs mess up

Thankyou,
atyndall

I don't know!

Here's how I install Hex WorkShop 4.23.

Echo Hex WorkShop 4.23
echo szDir=%SystemDrive%\Program Files\BreakPoint Software\Hex Workshop 4.2>%SystemRoot%\HDSVCPAK\HW423\SET02.txt
copy %SystemRoot%\HDSVCPAK\HW423\SET01.txt+%SystemRoot%\HDSVCPAK\HW423\SET02.txt+%SystemRoot%\HDSVCPAK\HW423\SET03.txt %SystemRoot%\HDSVCPAK\HW423\SETUP.ISS >NUL
REGEDIT /s %SystemRoot%\HDSVCPAK\HW423\HW423.reg
Start /Wait %SystemRoot%\HDSVCPAK\HW423\HW423.exe /s

SET01.txt and SET03.txt contain the rest of my ISS file.
