TARGETDIR not working like I expect.

[mfairbrother]

I am trying pass in the location on where to install from the command line

msiexec.exe /i demo.msi TARGETDIR=C:\widgets /l*vx "c:\inst.log"

the log file shows TARGETDIR getting set, however looking at SET_APPDIR in the log it's set to the default.

MSI (s) (20:0C) [14:18:51:898]: Doing action: SET_APPDIR
Action start 14:18:51: SET_APPDIR.
MSI (s) (20:0C) [14:18:51:898]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding APPDIR property. Its value is 'C:\Program Files\Widgets'.

note using APPDIR=... on the command line puts it to the user desired location.

Hi,

In version 3.4 of Advanced Installer, "TARGETDIR" was changed with "APPDIR".
