Use GetRoot on $INSTDIR.

It works, but not in an uninstall section

At the beginig i inserted:

!insertmacro GetRoot

and than:

${GetRoot} $INSTDIR $5

I get the Error:

!insertmacro: GetRootCall
Call must be used with function names starting with "un." in the uninstall section.
Usage: Call function_name | [:label_name]

That's because you have to use the "un." prefix.

!insertmacro un.GetRoot
# ...
${un.GetRoot} $INSTDIR $5
