Hey,
I'm am trying to write an installscript for a custom action that looks at the path the user has selected for their data folder to see if it exists, not the same as INSTALLDIR. Everywhere else in the Basic MSI project, I can just use [DATA_FOLDER] and it will display properly. My question is how do I use that same variable in an installscript? Is there a way to pass it in when the user clicks Next in the dialog?
Thanks in advance
Brad

Please check the documentation for MsiGetProperty. I can provide more detail later, but got to run now :-)

Thanks, I didn't know that MsiGetProperty could do that.
I figured I would post the code just incase anyone else has the same question:
