[TARGETDIR] will indeed appear in the WelcomeText. It'll also show in text
box labels. The problem is that the property is ignored when put in the
value field of a text box (e.g. Edit1Value). Other properties like
[ComputerName] are displayed properly. I can't figure out the logic behind
it.
BTW, removing brackets displays "TARGETDIR".
