A Single-installer Suite's install location provides a common directory for all of the products installed by the Suite. This property is used in conjunction with the Install Location property for each of the Product Reference beans in the Suite. If both the Install Location property for the Suite and the Install Location for each Product Reference are set, then the Install Location for each Product Reference will be relative to the Install Location of the Suite.
A string resolver method such as "$D" can also be used for this property. For example, "$D(install)" would resolve at runtime to the default installation directory for whichever platform you are using. For example, if you are installing to a Windows system, the "$D(install" would resolve to "C:\Program Files". CAUTION: InstallShield recommends that an absolute path not be used for this property when multiple platforms are targeted due to the differences in the way an absolute path is resolved on different platforms. For example:"/mydirectory"
on UNIX systems resolves to "/mydirectory", and on Windows systems to "C:\mydirectory".
