Yeah, I guess you are right.

I thought about adding a parameter to addpm.exe that enables resolving
%emacs_dir% to the program_path parameter provided before writing to
the registry. Then i thought maybe this is too much unnecessary.

By the way, the reason i need this configuration is just because i
want to create a personal package that follows the *nix habit. (So
that i can run /usr/bin/emacs and work under Win32 in the familiar
way. That's what msys and cygwin and similar environment provide. )
When i saw %emacs_dir%, i thought this was not reasonable at the time.
Now i understand the reason. Maybe i'll drop the entire directory to
/usr/local.

Anyway, thank you for your time.
