When trying to use <AppData> in the install path, the installer will fail with "Could not create installation folder: <AppData>/Zandercraft/Stellar Suite".
Isn't <AppData> supposed to be a variable that is replaced automatically?

Hello,

no. There are 3 path variables available in InstallForge:

Code: Select all

<ApplicationData>
This variable is valid for a certain user. A typical path might be C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming.

Code: Select all

<LocalApplicationData>
This variable is valid for a certain user. A typical path might be C:\Users\username\AppData\Local

Code: Select all

<CommonApplicationData>
This variable is valid machine-wide. A typical path might be C:\ProgramData.
