Passing server-side machine name to client-side installation package custom action

  • 13 years ago


     Hi

    This is probably a question that has a very simple answer but has me stumped!  I have created an installation package with a custom action to create shortcuts to a server application.  On a client PC I have a mapped drive, say H: on which the setup.exe resides and I am running the setup from this client.  I have tried all sorts of environment/system variables to try and establish the machine name of the mapped machine H to pass to the custom action so the shortcuts can refer back to the mapped drive.  Essentially I need to establish which mapping on the local machine points back to the server.  I would really appreciate any assistance on this.

    Thanks
