1) Our current IShield installer reads a .INI file and sets the default installation path (if the variable exists) to it. We use the same installer for upgrades or new installations. I know that one can read a variable from an .INI file but how can I set the installation directory to it upon start-up?
2) I need to register several DLLs with the OS. Can AInstaller automatically do so or do I have to issue the "regsvr32" to do so in a command for each one?
Thanks in advance,

Some Qs on INI and self-registering DLLs
Re: Some Qs on INI and self-registering DLLs
1. Go to System \ Variables add a variable (name e.g. <InstallPath>) that will contain a path.
Then go to Installation \ Files and Folders and in the Installation Directory field type the variable <InstallPath>
2. Add your DLLs to <SystemDir> folder on Files and Folders page. Then go to Register \ Others and add these files as DLL/ActiveX.
