Setting TARGETDIR with VBScript Action

[Meik Cremer]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie regarding Windows Installer and I know only a little about dll's

Is there any way of setting the TARGETDIR property with a custom action using VBScript? I need to search for an application-folder and want to make this the default installation directory for the user.

I know that there are ways with InstallScript, but I have no idea how to implement these scripts in windows installer (as I said, i am a newbie).

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Meik,
You need a custom scheduled in InstallUISequence table because you want the user see the value you set. The custom actions supported currently in Advanced Installer are sequenced only in InstallExecuteSequence table. In the near future it will possible to schedule custom actions in InstallUISequence table too.
