Retrieving the installation path from the installer

Question

Hi,

I have a Visual Studio 2008 setup which I created for a Visual C++ project. Is there any way that I can get the installation path that the user specifies at the installation folder prompt?

Thank You!

Answer 1

Managed to find the answer. There is a property called TARGETDIR in VS setup and deployment, can use that to retrieve the the installation path the user specifies. Just have to use it within square brackets.
