Making self extract exe with default unzip to desktop

[Ranger767]

Hi

I am trying to make self extracting exe. I would like the default “Unzip to” folder to be the users desktop location. I tried “%homedrive%%homepath%\desktop” but they don’t work. I have also tried “%userprofile%\desktop”. Note I have entered the variables without double quote. They all don’t work. It extracts the file in a mysterious location instead. :eek: When searching for the file, the file seems to appear in the query but there is no absolute path if I check the properties.

Is there any other alternative?

Thanks in advance

Joe
