    Remarks

    A variable is a string that has the format <variable>. The variable is a string representing one of the available variables (see below). The strings representing the macros are replaced by a path only when the actual self-extracting zip file is executed. Thus, the value of a variable usually depends on the particular settings of the operating system the self-extracting zip file is being run on.

    All variables except for the <RandomFolder> macro include the drive as part of the path. The <SystemDrive> variable only contains the drive letter followed by the colon (:) character. None of the variables contain a trailing System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.
