TextFile.WriteFromString help

You probably need to expand the first %AppFolder% as well, or your path will be wrong.

Thanks for the pointer i got it working now.
Here's the code i used incase it helps anyone else.

TextFile.WriteFromString("%AppFolder%\\test.cfg", "Title=product\r\nFolder="..SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%").."\r\n", true);

Hi all,

Been using setup factory 9 for a while now but i have been trying some new stuff and got a bit stuck.

I'm trying to write to a text file which works but i also need to write a variable to the file as well but that part fails, here's the code i'm using

TextFile.WriteFromString("%AppFolder%\\test.cfg", "Title=product\r\nFolder=%AppFolder%\r\n", true);

%AppFolder% = C:\testfolder
The file is created where i want but contains

Title=product
Folder=%AppFolder%

instead of

Title=product
Folder=C:\testfolder

Any help appreciated
