Question

Answer

A component destination is created by naming a script-defined folder: Setup Design > Feature > Component > Destination > Browse, Create,... > Script-defined > (Right Click) > New > <SAMPLEDIR>

The path to SAMPLEDIR can be set in Installscript by:

szValue = <TARGETDIR> ^ "Sample Directory";           //Can be any directory path.
TextSubSetValue ( "<SAMPLEDIR>", szValue, FALSE );    //Sets the script-defined folder.

The recommended way to access the run-time value of SAMPLEDIR is to use the following function:

TextSubGetValue("<SAMPLEDIR>", szValue, FALSE, FALSE);  //szValue now contains the path.
