I've got an XML file that will be installed along with my app, which refers
to my app's installed executable. (Sort of like a shortcut, except that this
XML is used by a 3rd-party app to invoke my app as an add-on. My app can
also run as a standalone app.) I'd like to give the user who installs my app
the choice of installation directory, but if I do so, then I somehow need to
pass that information into this XML file, so that it refers to the correct
location. I imagine some kind of preprocessor or parser that could replace a
predefined token in a text file to be installed on the user's system. Does
such a thing exist? Or could this somehow be accomplished with a custom
action? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

:) Michael
