I've run in to a bit of a problem when setting an installer property value containing APPDIR using the Edit Control Event dialog:
Property: [CustomActionData]
Argument: cmd.exe /c reg add "hkcu\Environment" /v CATALINA_HOME /t reg_sz /d "[APPDIR]\" /f
When the custom action runs per-machine it sets CATALINA_HOME as
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\<company>\<app>" /f
and per user as
Code: Select all
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\<company>\<app>
If I change the arugment to (remove the backslash after [APPDIR]): cmd.exe /c reg add "hkcu\Environment" /v CATALINA_HOME /t reg_sz /d "[APPDIR]" /f I get
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\<company>\<app>
and
Code: Select all
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\<company>\<app>" /f
The trailing backslash is being treated differently based on the selected installation type, so I can only get one installation working at a time. Is there an easy way to conditionally include the backslash in the Argument field or do I need to create two conditional values for the entire argument and populate an intermediate data value to use as the argument?
EDIT:
I've temporarily resolved this by duplicating the [CustomActionData] property and putting conditions on both copies.
