Setting INSTALLDIR from the Registry
InstallShield 2020 Express Edition
To set the INSTALLDIR value from the registry:
| 1. | In the View List under Organize Your Setup, click General Information. |
| 2. | In the INSTALLDIR setting, enter the full path to the registry key containing the value you want to use. For example: |
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\App.exe\
Setting this value to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\App.exe will instruct the installation to get this value from a string named App.exe in the App Paths key. Setting this value to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\App.exe\ (with trailing backslash) will instruct the installation to get this value from the default value of the key named App.exe.
Note:The trailing backslash specifies that the final portion of the specifier is the name of a key and not a value name.
