Hello,
This is the situation:
I have 2 products - P1 and P2. The difference between them is a single dll. I use a single installation, and use release flag to produce the different products.
The problem is that I want to change the installes directory name to P1 or P2, according to the product.
I can't override the INSTALLDIR property, because the new directory is under the INSTALLDIR ( [INSTALLDIR]/P1 or [INSTALLDIR]/P2 ).
How can I do that in InstallShield 11 premier?
Besides, I want my path to include the version number. Is there a way to change it dynamically, or will I have to change the path for every version that I develop? (I tried that the directory name will be a property or an entry from the string table, and it didn't work).
Example: [INSTALLDIR]/VersionNumber/ProductName.
Thanks.

Ezrali,
First of all, there are public and private properties. Public properties always need CAPITALS.
You can change your directory structure, as long as the identifier is like a public property (like you modify INSTALLDIR).
But you need to be very carefull with these options, since the path identifiers are relative.
I suggest u read the Installer SDK documentation about the directory table, and the documentation about private and public properties. I believe this will lead you to your goal
