First I created a Script-defined folder in the destination of a file group. Then in my script I read a path from the registry and call ComponentSetTarget to copy it to the property that I specified in the destination.

When I run the install, it complains that "<szPath>\somesubdir" is not a valid path.

I used the following code:

RegDBGetKeyValueEx("SOFTWARE\\SomeCompany\\SomeProduct", "AppPath", nvType, svPath, nvSize);
ComponentSetTarget (MEDIA, "<szPath>", svPath);  
szPropertyVar = "<szPath>";
MessageBox (szPropertyVar, INFORMATION);

and it displays:

<szPath>

I made sure that I'm calling this before the call to ComponentTransferData.

I wrote my code exactly like InstallShield's example in their help file. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
