You can direct the installer to perform actions before installation starts by using the <preInstallationActionList> section. For example, the following code will set a different installation directory depending on the platform the installer is running on.
<preInstallationActionList>
<setInstallerVariable>
<name>installdir</name>
<value>${env(SYSTEMDRIVE)}/${product_shortname}</value>
<ruleList>
<compareText>
<text>${platform_name}</text>
<logic>equals</logic>
<value>windows</value>
</compareText>
</ruleList>
</setInstallerVariable>
<setInstallerVariable>
<name>installdir</name>
<value>/usr/local/${product_shortname}</value>
<ruleList>
<compareText>
<text>${platform_name}</text>
<logic>equals</logic>
<value>linux</value>
</compareText>
</ruleList>
</setInstallerVariable>
</preInstallationActionList>
