Hi guys,

How can I set files to install in target computer environment variable folder paths in Wise Windows Installer Editor? Setting a variable for source files is easy enough, but I can't find a way of doing it for the target machine.

For example, I have files that needs to be installed in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime and %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\QuickTime

Using the actual windows variable %ALLUSERSPROFILE% as a folder name causes an error on install (C: contains an invalid character - the % I presume). I don't want to hard define the folder structure because %APPDATA% varies for each user.

Many thanks,

Martin

As long as there's no property pointing to that specific folder under system folder properties section in the windows installer property reference, I think you have to refer to that path indirectly. About format, I've never used wise before but try:
"[AnySystemFolderProperty]\.....\......"
