Thanks for the detailed explanation. I hoped to be able to supply an initial value for the installation path text field, customizable in my .setup file.
However as already pointed out, when adjusting installation.location, this variable is applied after the user entered the desired destination directory, making the input field completely useless because the user input is ignored.
It would be great if the initial value of the text field in the simple installer would be customizable.
I see three alternatives here:
- Resolve installation.location before the text field is populated. User can edit the path, installation.location is updated with the changes.
- Provide separate variable for the initial installation path value. Advantage (also for previous alternative): ${install.root} can be referenced, path separator handling is already implemented for variables.
- Provide annotation for install root suffix. Disadvantage: not as flexible as a variable (no references to other variables), no built-in path separator handling for different file systems.
Please let me know what you think of these alternatives or if you have other ideas.

I really like your approach to set a default value for installation.location without setting the value, meaning: the text box in the simple installer is filled with the default value, but the user can (optinally) modify it in order to define its final value. I'll create a bugzilla for that. I will also clarify whether I could help by providing a patch.
