Installer Path Question

ok i make AMX installers and so on and the way i make them they have to add their e-mail in the install dir. im am wanting it to auto find there e-mail instead. now i know i have to look in regedit and find the install path and i did its "c:\valve\steam\steamapps\matthewwoods5@lycos.com\half-life" but now heres the problem i need my files to install to c:\valve\steam\steamapps\matthewwoods5@lycos.com\dedicated server" what should i do?

Search the forum, this Steam question have already been asked and answered more than once. In short, GetParent.

Just like Kichik said, you need to do:

ReadRegStr $R0 "HKCU" "Software\Valve\Steam" "ModInstallPath"

;$R0 == 'c:\valve\steam\steamapps\[account]\half-life'



Push $R0

 Call GetParent

Pop $R0

;$R0 == 'c:\valve\steam\steamapps\[account]'



StrCpy $R0 "$R0\dedicated server"

;$R0 == 'c:\valve\steam\steamapps\[account]\dedicated server'

I've been using my NSIS Self-Extractor kit to distribute maps. It checks for that registry entry, and if it does not exist, it searches for the SteamApps folder until found on either C: D: E: When that dir is found, it then finds hostileintent folder in the SteamApps folder to extract to.

Edit: Make sure you include the GetParent function in your script.
