ARPINSTALLLOCATION property

  • Article

The ARPINSTALLLOCATION property is the full path to the application's primary folder.

Remarks

This property enables application backup and restore; in that scenario, it's used to associate Start menu shortcuts (based on their targets pointing into this location) with the product that created them. That can be done statically, or via a custom action.
