Application Object Properties Where Macros Can Be Used
You can use macros when defining the Application object properties.
When entering a macro in a property field, you must enclose the macros in % characters (for example, %TARGET_PATH% or %*WINDISK%). This enables Application Launcher to recognize and treat the macro as a macro.
The following sections describe the fields on each page on which you can use macros:
