RootDirs Section of info.sxp

The RootDirs section of the info.sxp archive file can have the following entries:

SxpRootDirn

Specifies the root directory number n of the product.

nth_root_directory

Specifies the directory path. This is initially generated by the reference installation as an absolute path. Instead of the absolute path, you can optionally enter a client parameter manually. The Installer initially determines the value of the client parameter locally. Therefore, you can set root directories individually.

Example: Using a parameter to specify the directory path

SxpRootDir1=$(LocalMSOfficePath)

A client parameter, LocalMSOfficePath, is defined for a product, such as Microsoft Office 2000, which indicates the valid root directory on the target computer. On target computer1, the parameter could have the value E:\Office2000 and on target computer2 the value D:\Applications\Office2000.
