Path Variables Tab

Always recommend path variables

MSI, InstallScript

Select this option if you want InstallShield to automatically assign existing path variables to your files. For example, if you are adding a file to your installation project that is stored in your Program Files folder, InstallShield uses <ProgramFilesFolder> rather than a hard-coded path.

Select the check box below this option to have InstallShield automatically create a path variable for you. When a new variable is created, it is titled <MYVAR#> (where # is a successive number). You can change the name of this variable in the Path Variables editor.

Don't recommend path variables

MSI, InstallScript

Select this option if you want to use hard-coded paths for all of your file links. InstallShield does not suggest path variables for you if this option is selected.

Always display the Path Variable Recommendation dialog to me

MSI, InstallScript

Select this option if you want the Path Variable Recommendation dialog box dialog box to be displayed every time you associate a file with your installation project.
