Is there a way to set a default Installation Folder? [message #1837593]

The Eclipse Installer GUI has an Installation Folder text box that allows the user to specify where the product will be installed. By default it's C:\Users\GStrait\eclipse\myProduct_01 in my case.

Is there a way to get the Installation Folder to display by default something like C:\MyCompany\MyProduct ??

I tried the following setupTasks in the setup file but neither did the trick...

<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:InstallationTask"
id="installation"
location="C:\MyCompany\MyProduct"/>
<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:VariableTask"
type="FOLDER"
name="install.root"
value="C:\MyCompany\MyProduct"
defaultValue="C:\Users\GStrait"
label="Root install folder">
<description>The root install folder where all the products are installed</description>
</setupTask>

Maybe something can be set in the Eclipse Installer configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.oomph.setup.installer.prefs ??

Thanks[

You could use the debugger to answer questions like this where you'd see how this is computed in org.eclipse.oomph.setup.internal.installer.SimpleVariablePage.getDefaultInstallationFolder(). I'm not sure if using -Doomph.setup.install.root=... will entirely meet your needs in simple mode.
