If i use %APPDATA% in the path section when creating an sfx it will extract fine in windows. But when installing windows it just creates a folder in programfiles called "%appdata%".

Now I understand that if I just put appdata as the path it would always go to programfiles but is the reason that it doesn't go to the correct folder (when installing) because the environmental variables don't exist or what ??????

I am running it @ cmdlines.txt

Help! my custom installations depend on it :P

You can't called that variable at that T13 stage (cmdlines.txt) because the environmental variables doesn't exist yet, you haven't establish your userprofile. You can run it from the GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif
