I am writing a plugin and I need help in getting an environment variable's value and install my plugin to that directory. My env.var is % AppinstallDir%. This variable contains the full path of the application.

So I am accessing to the value using *$(env.AppinstallDir) *

< Directory Id =' AppInstallDir' Name='AppIns' LongName='$(env.AppinstallDir ) '>
< Component Id =' PlugIn' Guid='11111111-1111-1111-1111-1111111111111' >

All $(...) are preprocessor variables and are resolved at build time, not install time. MSI requires that directories be statically named, so it doesn't support environment variables. You need to use a custom action to set the directory name at install time.
