Installer location with variable

Can I use the constant $documents for the outfile instruction (I would to place the installer in MyDocuments folder compiling from anywhere) ? If yes, how ?

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

I have not resolved, since there there are only methods use environment variable or 2-steps compiling; I would need a method to compile in one step manipulating or not the outfile command.

I think you missed it:
"$%USERPROFILE%\My Documents"

The name "My Documents" varies from machine in machine: for example it can be "Documenti"; then it could be not match.
Is not it ?
