- \note You can use the variables in the parameter list for installation
- operations. For example, \c{"{TargetDir}/settings.xml"} might be expanded
- to: \c{"C:/Program Files/My Program/settings.xml"}.
+ The variables can be resolved by calls to \c installer.value(). If embedded
+ in '@' they can also be part of strings passed as arguments to installation
+ operations:
+
+ \code
+ if (installer.value("os") === "win") {
+ component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@/MyApp.exe", "@StartMenuDir@/MyApp.lnk");
+ }
