Getting previous installtion directory

IgorM · 12th July 2007, 07:16

Hello

How can I get previous installtion directory without using InstallDirRegKey option?

My suggestions are:
1) Create install.ini in first installation
2) Second installation
3) If file install.ini exists read it and get the string
1 - 3 have write !macro

4) Push install string to â€œDestinationâ€

4 - How can I implement it? (Where I should insert my macro?)

Thanks,
Igor

In .onInit will do.
