Get Appfolder from INI or Registry

[Kingpin]

Hi there, i try to get and set Appfolder for Setup - but it didn't work if i want

On Startup it should get a Path from INI File. If INI is not available try it from Registry and if Reg is also not available then use current dir.

This is what i've tryed...

local mypath = INIFile.GetValue(_WindowsFolder .. "\\myprog.ini", "testpath", "path");

     if (error ~=0) or (mypath == "") then
          local mypath = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\MyProg", "path");

               if (error ~=0) or (mypath == "") then
                   local mypath = Folder.GetCurrent( );
                   SessionVar.Set("%Appfolder%", mypath);
               else
                   SessionVar.Set("%Appfolder%", mypath);
               end
     else
          SessionVar.Set("%Appfolder%", mypath);
     end

You are not defining the variable error at any point, so you cannot use it in your if statements. Check your logic...

Thx 4 reply Ulrich! A better answer would been "read help carefully" Now i know that return a blank string "" if the value doesn't exist or the action fails...
