OnSetTARGETDIR

InstallShield 2024 » InstallScript Language Reference

Project: This information applies to InstallScript projects.

The OnSetTARGETDIR event handler function is called directly by the setup engine to set the value of the system variable TARGETDIR.

This event handler is called in any setup, including a setup that uses a procedural script (a script with a program…endprogram block).

Syntax

OnSetTARGETDIR ( );

Parameters

None.

Return Values

None.

Additional Information

•

By default, in a first installation OnSetTARGETDIR sets TARGETDIR to the value that you specified in the TARGETDIR setting in the General Information view, or—if you did not specify a value in InstallShield—to <FOLDER_APPLICATIONS>\<IFX_COMPANY_NAME>\<IFX_PRODUCT_NAME>. <FOLDER_APPLICATIONS>, <IFX_COMPANY_NAME>, and <IFX_PRODUCT_NAME> are texts substitutions whose values are resolved when TARGETDIR is referenced; that is, if you change the value of the system variable IFX_COMPANY_NAME or IFX_PRODUCT_NAME after OnSetTARGETDIR has been called, that change is reflected in subsequent references to TARGETDIR.

•

A maintenance installation or uninstallation initializes TARGETDIR to the value that is stored in the log file, and by default OnSetTARGETDIR does not modify the value of TARGETDIR.
