System information variables

Windows Installer does not support the nested definition used by this variable. However, you can use the expressions <%ComSpec> or [%ComSpec] to retrieve the full path to the command processor.

Description

This variable contains the full path to the command processor on the target system. It is defined as <%ComSpec>; because this definition is so simple, you can use either <ComSpec> or use <%ComSpec> directly to refer to the command processor.

Usage

Usage
How to set Do not set this variable directly; it is set automatically when you build the installer, using information from the Product Identification project page.
How to use You can refer to this variable as <ComSpec> (Tarma native syntax, preferred). In Windows Installer packages, you should use <%ComSpec> or [%ComSpec] instead, because Windows Installer does not support nested variable definitions.
