Hi,

How can I specify the system drive (sometimes, it's not C🙂

For instance, if I want c:\MyProg :
InstallDir $SYSTEMDRIVE\MyProg

Copy the first chars from $WINDIR.

StrLen $R0 $WINDIR
StrCpy $R0 $WINDIR 1 -$R0

$R0 = e.g. C or D

You don't need StrLen. StrCpy with 1 as maxlen is enough.

StrCpy $R0 $WINDIR 1

It should be a instruction for this... /* hint hint */
Something like $WINDRIVE....

Thank you very much.
I think a variable $SYSTEMDRIVE should be useful

You can easily declare your own variable called $SYSTEMDRIVE and set it using one line of code.

But I'll be easier if already was made 😛

If we add everything that can be done with a few lines code NSIS will become huge.

In fact it was because I come from Innosetup where there is a {sd} constant
