It should be as easy as (platforms that doesn't have %systemdrive% could only install to C:): item: Get Environment Variable Variable=3DOSDRIVE Environment=3DSystemDrive Default=3DC: end However, you might have to do item: Get Registry Key Value Variable=3DOSDRIVE Key=3DSystem\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment Value Name=3DSystemDrive Flags=3D00000100 Defualt=3DC: end (not sure about the Flags parameter) I couldn't find much documentation, and the example I'm looking at is a litte "divided" about which it should use... I think it tries the first one, and falls back on the second(?) (http://ibinstall.defined.net/dl_scripts.htm, script_6016.zip/IBWin32Setup.wse). Also, it looks like you want to use %SYS32% to get to the windows system directory (on WinXP, it's c:\windows\system32, which doesn't seem to be listed anywhere...) I can't figure out how you're building the installer however. If you can point me in the right direction I can test it on my special WinXP, regular WinXP, Win98, Win2k, and maybe WinNT4 (I think we still have one around :-). -- bjorn
