DefaultInstallationPath (Addon)

Description

Sets or returns the default installation folder (siInstallationPath) for the add-on (by default, siUserPath). Users can choose a different installation folder when they install the add-on.

Note: The default installation folder is automatically used when a user drags an add-on to Softimage.

C# Syntax

// get accessor
siInstallationPath rtn = Addon.DefaultInstallationPath;

// set accessor
Addon.DefaultInstallationPath = siInstallationPath;
