FOLDER_APPLICATIONS

InstallShield 2015 » InstallScript Language Reference

The FOLDER_APPLICATIONS system variable stores the fully qualified path to the root folder for application folders. The value of this system variable is equal to the value of the system variable PROGRAMFILES when the value of the system variable ALLUSERS is non-zero; when ALLUSERS is FALSE, the value of this system variable is equal to the value of the system variable FOLDER_APPDATA.

This system variable is read-only; if you attempt to assign a value to it, a compiler error results. The value of this system variable is shared among object scripts and between object scripts and the main setup script.
