[izpack-users] Overriding built-in variables

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Vasil,
sorry, $INSTALL_PATH is a very special variable which will be modified a
secound time after loading variables (in opposite to all others).
Therefore changing via <variable> will not work. But if you would use as
root the default you can change the subpath with:
<info>
    ...
    <appsubpath>My App/$APP_NAME $APP_VER</appsubpath>
</info>
 
In opposite to the "normal" variable setting this approach uses variable
substitution.
 
Hope it will be work now
 
Klaus

		Hi Vasil,
		you can change the contents of any variable in a custom
action or custom panel or with <variable> in the installation
description file (often named install.xml) because variables are not
write protected and built-in variables are resolved at starting
installation before resolving values given by <variable>.
		Build-in variables are created to get special
information about the current system. If you override this, these
information are away.

			Hi all,
			
			I want to ask if it is possible to override a
built-in variable (e.g. $INSTALL_PATH). I need to customize my
installation but I do not want to
			specify anoter variable for the install path
since it is referenced in many places in my configuration files. 
			
			Thannks in advance
			
			Regards, Vasil
