Appending the INSTALLDIR variable
I have a situation that I thought would be simple in InstallShield 2010. As I am finding out, nothing is simple in 2010.
All I want to do is if the user choses to pick the install directory, take their directory that they typed in (eg. C:\software) and add a directory after it.
(eg C:\software\application). No matter what directory they pick, I want to add \application after it.
I have tried setting the Set Target Path under the dialog behavior when they click next. I have tried setting it to [_BrowseProperty]\ILLUSTRA. That generates an error. I have tried making a path variable that uses [INSTALLDIR]ILLUSTRA, [INSTALLDIR]\ILLUSTRA, [INSTALLDIR]"ILLUSTRA".
I have made a variable for "ILLUSTRA" and added it to the Set Target Path. (eg. [INSTALLDIR][TARGET], [INSTALLDIR]%TARGET%.
No matter what I pick I get an error on the install that it cannot find "[INSTALLDIR]ILLUSTRA". If I tell it I want to chage directories but don't actually change the directory and click next it works (the default value for INSTALLDIR)
There has to be a simple way to do this and I am now on my 5th day of trying to figure it out.
Any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
