I need to register MyEXE as described bellow:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\MyAppCommand\Command]
@="C:\Program Files\UserChosePath\MyEXE.exe %1"

What variable shall I use in the Setup project's Registry Editor

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\MyAppCommand\Command
(Default) [??????]\MyEXE.exe %1

[TargetDir] returns empty

I found that [TARGETDIR] is the correct variable

Is there any full list of other variables to be used in the Setup Project?
