Lucas Restorations




If you are looking for someone to restore your First Generation Camaro, THIS looks like the place.
An awesome website to browse and see some nicely restored first gen Camaros.
By the way, this is exactly what I'd like to build. This is a real 67 Z/28, but I'd settle for a good clone.

Use Windows Installer Properties When Setting Registry Key Values

Whew! That's a mouthful!

I needed to set a registry key value based on the the installation directory of the package. Turns out you can use Windows Installer properties enclosed in square brackets.
Like this...

[TARGETDIR]bob.exe

... to get at the bob.exe in its install directory. This expands to...

C:\Program Files\Bob Application\bob.exe

... in the registry during installation.

You can use properties like
  • TARGETDIR
  • ProgramFilesFolder
  • Manufacturer
  • ProductName
  • SystemFolder
