Just create a registry item with the exact name of [TARGETDIR] . This will resolve to the actual path where the app gets installed.

Does Start->Run mean literally the Run dialog? Or do you mean a shortcut? It's relatively easy to add a shortcut, and you don't need TARGETDIR or anything.
Assuming you mean that Run dialog, what you need is not the Path variable. You need to write:
[TARGETDIR]Your.exe
as the default data item into
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Your.exe

Why do you want to write the installation directory to the registry? Who will be using this information? And when will it be used? |

Actually, I want to add a run command, so that after installation procedure is complete, the user will run the application by calling a command from start->run. To do this I need to add a registry item for the application, which will track the path of the exe where the program is going to be installed.
I need to know how to set the path of the exe to a registry string variable called path. Please let me know this ... Will [TARGETDIR] will work for me...
