Hello all,
I have the following Folder.wxs:
... <StandardDirectory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="TestFolder" Name="Test"/> </StandardDirectory> ...
This folder will refer to "C:\Program Files (x86)" on my system.
I want to use the folder name later as follows:
... <Environment Action="set" System="yes" Name="TEST_PATH" Value="[TestFolder]"/> ...
My problem is that i need a path without spaces. This is possible by using the short path:
C:\PROGRA~2\TEST
How can i get the short path of the folder ? I tried
[!TestFolder]
... but this not working ...Any ideas on how to fetch the short path without hardcoding it into the value property of the environment var.
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
~A
