VeloxWebInstallPath

property VeloxWebInstallPath: Integer read write;

Example​

procedure ScriptEvent(var Value: Variant);
begin
  // Do not access Setup.VeloxWebInstallPath in scripts:
  // its compile-time declaration and runtime registration are broken.
  Value := Null;
end;

Usage​

Do not read or assign VeloxWebInstallPath from a current Velox script. The exposed property is unusable: its declared type and executable access do not agree.

Manage the Velox Web installation directory through governed host setup instead. Do not substitute VeloxWebUrl, which is a web address rather than the server filesystem path.

Additional Technical Info​

VeloxWebInstallPath is present in generated Code Library structure but is not a usable script property in the current product.

Registration mismatch

The script compiler declares:

The runtime importer registers no getter or setter for that name. The native setup class actually defines a read/write String. Code can therefore appear to compile against the wrong type but cannot be reliably bound/executed at runtime. Do not use, test or feature-detect it from a production script.

This documentation records the current defect for diagnosis; it does not promote the native property into the public scripting contract. A future product fix must make the compiler type and runtime helper agree before script access is supported.

Native setting behaviour (host code only)

The host's native String setting stores the Velox web installation base. New setup defaults to a test/production IIS path according to mode. Its setter always calls Delphi IncludeTrailingPathDelimiter; unlike DefaultFilePath, an empty input is not special-cased and becomes a platform separator.

Host code appends wwwroot\openapi\ to locate generated OpenAPI files and stores a derived copy during setup save. The setter does not validate containment, create the directory, check service identity access or deploy the website.

Do not confuse this server filesystem path with VeloxWebUrl. Exposing or changing it can disclose/redirect web-root file access and requires governed host configuration.
