	Hi Klaus,
	
	You seem to be quite knowledgeable so I would like to ask you
one more thing. I have defined a user input panel and I have a search
field, defined the following way: 
	
	       <field type="search" variable="webapp_directory"> 
	         <spec txt="Application server web applications
directory:" type="directory"
	               result="directory" id="input-webapp-dir">
	           <choice value="${ENV[CATALINA_HOME]}/webapps"/> 
	         </spec>
	       </field>
	
	IzPack does not pick the CATALINA_HOME environment.
	
	Regards, Vasil

		Hi Vasil,
		sorry, $INSTALL_PATH is a very special variable which
will be modified a secound time after loading variables (in opposite to
all others). Therefore changing via <variable> will not work. But if you
would use as root the default you can change the subpath with:
		<info>
		    ...
		    <appsubpath>My App/$APP_NAME $APP_VER</appsubpath>
		</info>
		 
		In opposite to the "normal" variable setting this
approach uses variable substitution.
		 
		Hope it will be work now

				Hi Vasil,
				you can change the contents of any
variable in a custom action or custom panel or with <variable> in the
installation description file (often named install.xml) because
variables are not write protected and built-in variables are resolved at
starting installation before resolving values given by <variable>.
				Build-in variables are created to get
special information about the current system. If you override this,
these information are away.

				Hi all,
				
				I want to ask if it is possible to
override a built-in variable (e.g. $INSTALL_PATH). I need to customize
my installation but I do not want to
				specify anoter variable for the install
path since it is referenced in many places in my configuration files. 
				
				Thannks in advance
				
				Regards, Vasil
