Rob's suggestion is if you want to get info about the system so you can change properties in your installation at runtime. It sounds though, like you want to get the information about the current state of the installer. Directory IDs can be treated the same as properties, so you can get the full path of a folder using [FOLDER_ID]. You will probably need to make them upper case so they get passed to the server side properly. If you want the full path to a file it's [#fileid].
