Thanks for your kindly reply!
Is it possible to do without modifying the APPDIR location? Since I have a lot of stuff related to APPDIR now and editing it will cost a lot of effort.

Re: put files into [Manufacturer] folder
Hello,
In the Application Folder field you can specify the default path for the installation folder. This path is stored in the APPDIR property.
Please keep in mind that the APPDIR property is referenced by Formatted data types and are solved at runtime.
So, the properties that can be used inside Formatted Type fields with the format [PROPERTY] they will be replaced at install time with the value associated with the property's name.
In your case whenever is the [APPDIR] it will be replaced with the related value from the “Install parameters” page, the “Application Folder”: [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]
If you have any questions, please let us know.
