Can I find out where user installed to?

Hi,
I understand how to set up a default directory for a user to install to. But if they browse to a different directory, I would like to capture that information to use it a different part of my install process. Is there a way to find out where the user installed to?

Thanks,
Beth

You should always be using $INSTDIR in your sections. Don't assume that its the default directory you choose. $INSTDIR is the directory that is set by the user.
