Specifying the Default Destination Folder for a DIM

InstallShield 2016

Project • This information applies to DIM projects.

The value that you enter for the INSTALLDIR setting in the General Information view serves as the default folder for all of your DIM’s files. That is, its value is assigned to the Windows Installer folder property INSTALLDIR, which is the default destination folder. In an installation project, this typically evaluates as follows:

[ProgramFilesFolder]My Company Name\My Product Name

If you would like to let the users of your DIM override the default destination, enter [TARGETDIR] in the INSTALLDIR setting. To learn more, see Overriding the Destination for a DIM Reference.
