thanks for the reply. I assume using a custom action to set a value of the
install directory is easy:)
Thanks again

This variable contains the full path of the application.

All $(...) are preprocessor variables and are resolved at build time, not
install time. MSI requires that directories be statically named, so it
doesn't support environment variables. You need to use a custom action to
set the directory name at install time.
