autorun.inf and compile data files
I have my installer projects in separate directories and all is fine. I want to add automatically updating information in the autorun.inf file at compile time but can't find the source directory. Is there a variable that I am missing?

The source directory of the script is the current working directory, unless you pass /NOCD to the compiler. There's no variable that you're missing, it doesn't exist.

So I try:

Push "autorun.inf"
Push "open=MDA-UDOP-Client"
Push "open=MDA-UDOP-Client-${VERSION}-Installer.exe"
Call ReplaceLineStr

But the file in the same directory as my nsi script is not updated. Is this because I've changed $OUTDIR in previous sections?

No, it's because that code is executed at runtime. If you want to execute code at build time, on your build machine, you must use !system or !execute.
