In Basic MSI (and even Installscript MSI) I believe its possible to have variables for your registry entries (ie. [MAX_VERSION]). I cannot figure out for the life of me how to do that in an Installscript project. I don't even know if it is possible. I'm using InstallShield 10.5.

The variable's name should be written in angle brackets, like <MAX_VERSION>.
Here's how I use it. During the product's build process some variables are being written by the makefiles to a file called Settings.rul. This file is included in the installer by the following construct at the top of Setup.rul.

| CODE |
| #include "Settings.rul" |
In that Settings.rul file I define the value like this:
| CODE |
| #define MAX_VERSION "3.10.000" |
Then in onBegin() method I export the value, so it would be accessible from any part of the installer
| CODE |
| FeatureSetTarget(MEDIA, "<MAX_VERSION>", MAX_VERSION); |
And finally you can put <MAX_VERSION> anywhere you want in your registry's values and it will be resolved to "3.10.000".
