Have you tried to create a registry key with [TARGETDIR]\\<Your app name> in the installer? The whole installer business is after all based on MSI so you best try to find how that would be solved in MSI and try then to apply that knowledge in LabVIEW.

And reading through one of the posts it would seem to me that this suggestion was already sort of linked to in one of the posts. If this can't be made to work in this way then I'm afraid there won't exist another solution directly in the installer, but I do think it will work.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, find!

You must use [INSTALLDIR] as root of key data.

[INSTALLDIR] corresponds to the user selcted path for installation.

Create your key AppPath then name it [INSTALLDIR]AppFolder\AppSubFolder

where AppFolder and AppSubFolder is your relative path

Warning : No '\' between [INSTALLDIR] and AppFolder

In fact, I tested it at first with {} instead of [] so, it didn't work

Note : [TARGETDIR] is a more general path

Thanks to rolfk.

You are the one that decides whether it is a solution to your question, so go ahead and mark it as such if it solved your problem.
