Ionic Zip Library v1.9.1.6
DefaultExtractDirectory Property
Reference ► Ionic.Zip ► SelfExtractorSaveOptions ► DefaultExtractDirectory
The default extract directory the user will see when
running the self-extracting archive.


Passing null (or Nothing in VB) here will cause the Self Extractor to use the the user's personal directory (Personal) for the default extract location.
This is only a default location. The actual extract location will be settable on the command line when the SFX is executed.
You can specify environment variables within this string, with %NAME%. The value of these variables will be expanded at the time the SFX is run. Example: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\unpack may expand at runtime to c:\users\melvin\Documents\unpack.
