String Manipulation
From regestry I get installdir:
c:\program files\software\driver

I need to change it to:
c:\program files\software\tools
and install my files here

What is better way to do it?


use the instruction


WriteRegStr HKLM SOFTWARE\MyApp "${MUI_PRODUCT}" $INSTDIR


But, in what part... begin..middle...or....end...
of the installation?

Using StrCpy is the easiest and the better way to do this (copy if you want):

StrCpy"$INSTDIR""$INSTDIR"-7

StrCpy
"$INSTDIR""$INSTDIR\tools"

And if you don't know the length of the last directory name use GetParent.
