Addon Maker - Missing variable


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Currently, theres no way to get application into Program Files directory on 64-bit system.

In W7Toolkit %ProgramFiles% variable defaults to "Program Files(x86)" on 64-bit system, so its basically same as %ProgramFiles(86)% variable.

On 64-bit system, there should be also %ProgramW6432% , which it always matches "Program Files" directory.

%ProgramFiles%

This variable points to Program Files directory, which stores all the installed program of Windows and others. The default on English-language systems is C:\Program Files. In 64-bit editions of Windows (XP, 2003, Vista), there are also %ProgramFiles(x86)% which defaults to C:\Program Files (x86) and %ProgramW6432% which defaults to C:\Program Files. The %ProgramFiles% itself depends on whether the process requesting the environment variable is itself 32-bit or 64-bit (this is caused by Windows-on-Windows 64-bit redirection).

Legolash2o, could you fix this and add this %ProgramW6432% variable?

Actually I dont know, is it a bug or feature in W7Toolkit.

As far as I understand W7Toolkit is itself 32-bit app, so it defaults %ProgramFiles% to "Program Files(x86)" as expected.
