suggestion on file usage?
 

It appears I can't use a variable as argument to the file instruction. For example, file $theFile.

I'm trying to conditionalize where the files to install are located like so:

Var /GLOBAL theFile
Var /GLOBAL Build
StrCpy $Build "Debug"
StrCpy $theFile "someDir\$Build\myprog.exe"

file $theFile


Does anyone has a suggestion on how to do that?

thanks in advance.

Apples and oranges :-)
Compile time and run time.
You may use defines.
!define Build "Debug"
!define THE_FILE "someDir\${Build}\myprog.exe"
File "${THE_FILE}"

thanks.
