InstallShield 2008 ยป InstallScript Language Reference
During setup initialization, InstallShield initializes the system variable WINSYSDIR by assigning to it the name of the Windows system folder. This folder is used to store application extensions (DLLs), device drivers, and other Windows system files, depending on the version of Windows. The value of the InstallScript system variable WINSYSDIR is obtained by calling the Windows API GetSystemFolder. This is the standard way of determining the Windows System Folder.
On 64-bit Windows systems, this variable points to the folder that stores Windows system files used by 32-bit applications. This folder is currently named SYSWOW64 and is determined during setup initialization by calling the Windows API GetSystemWow64Directory from a 64-bit executable. There is a different Windows system folder for system files to be used by 64-bit applications. Limited access to this folder is provided by the WINSYSDIR64 system variable.
