I need to place the output directory that is chosen at setup time when my
application is deployed in the registry. I have found the odd variable that
works very closely to what I need ([Manufacturer] [ProgramFilesFolder])
however I cannot find a list of them or the output destination for my
executable.

If this is not the correct forum for such a question, my appologies and
please direct me in the right area.

Thanks in advance.

I think it's INSTALLDIR

Thanks dave but that is not it at least not for what I am aiming at. I tried
putting [InstallDir] as a registry value and it came up blank whereas
manufacturer works.

Sorry, it's TARGETDIR.
