    Note: %Windir% is a variable. The dialer locates the Windows installation folder (by default, this is C:\Windows or C:\Winnt) and copies itself to that location.

    to the registry key:

    where <filename.exe> is the name of the Dialer.Haldex executable file that was first run on the system.

  4. Creates the directory, C:\Program Files\HaldexLtd, and copies files into it.

  5. Creates a link to Dialer.Haldex on the desktop.
