Text being appended to $INSTDIR
In my script, I have the following suggested installation folder:

InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\UBI Soft\Forgotten Battles"

I've included text prompting the user, if the above is not correct, to utilize the Browse button and CHOOSE the installation folder.

However, if the user utilizes the Browse button, and selects:

c:\temp\foo

Then the $INSTDIR box (in the installer) reads:

c:\temp\foo\Forgotten Battles

Why is this?
Is it because of spaces in the suggested InstallDIR? Am I using this feature incorrectly?

Add another back slash at the end of the string to avoid this. See InstallDir documentation for more information.
