I am using Developer 7 and trying to set a path using the environment variables area in the IDE. However when I install on Windows 9x OS the path is put in the autoexec.bat file using the long file name structure. Windows 9x doesn't like this.
I found a thread at Installshield's news boards that said to put double quotes around the path and I did that but Windows 2000 doesn't like the double quotes. The thread also suggested using the following format: [WIN9X_QUOTE][INSTALLDIR][WIN9X_QUOTE] and using a custom action to set [WIN9X_QUOTE] to " when a Windows 9x OS is detected.
The problem I am having is that the property [WIN9X_QUOTE] cannot be set to Null (that I have found) so this technique doesn't work on Windows 2000 either.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could try next?
Thanks,
Alan
