    Default Using environment variables with installer /LOADINF

    Hello!

    I tried to use the following commandline to install Spybot v.1.6.2 on multiple computers to the Windows %PROGRAMFILES% directory, which is different on german Windows XP (C:\Programme) and Vista/Win7 32bit/64bit (C:\Program Files (x86) / C:\Program Files):

    spybotsd162.exe /silent /noreboot /loadinf="spybot_default.inf"

    Content of spybot_default.inf:
    [Setup]
    Lang=de
    Dir="%PROGRAMFILES%\Spybot - Search & Destroy"
    Group=Spybot - Search & Destroy
    NoIcons=0
    SetupType=custom
    Components=main,language,skins,updatedl,sdshredder,sdfiles,SDWinSec
    Tasks=desktopicon,launchsdhelper


    The installer doesn't expand the environment variable and all I get is the actual folder %PROGRAMFILES%\Spybot - Search & Destroy in the current working directory. Also Links on the StartMenu, Uninstaller and the Desktop to Spybot don't work because Windows expands the variable.

    I also tried
    Dir="\%PROGRAMFILES\%\Spybot - Search & Destroy"
    Dir='%PROGRAMFILES%\Spybot - Search & Destroy'
    Dir=%PROGRAMFILES%\Spybot - Search & Destroy
    with no success.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

    Hello,

    Is this a corporate environment as you try to install Spybot - Search & Destroy on multiple machines?

    Best regards
