Is there a universal variable for the path to a program
I have noticed on several occasions that during the installation of a program downloaded from the internet that there was some sort of variable in the path to the installation folder I would just accept the default and the installation went OK.
I assumed that the variable was to accommodate the different OS's.
I have a small program that I created that I wanted to make available to the public. However, this program was created with the thought of using it myself. so I did not pay attention to the paths except to make it work. Now that I wish to make it available I should make the installation easier. The current path on my computer is "C:\users\bill\documents\FUND" and it branches from there. I assume that the variable in question is to replace the user. I hope I have made this clear enough that it can be understood.
I'm looking for a place that describes this variable and how I might be able to use it in my installation instructions.
