Definition

Use this command to store the value of a user account's security identification (SID) in a variable.

You need this command when modifying a user profile. The user profile are stored in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. (This key contains a list of SIDs.)
You can use the command GetObjectSID to retrieve the SID of a user account from a variable; this variable will be used in the command RegModify to access the user profile directly.

By storing the SID in a variable (a user-defined, local variable) the value of the variable becomes available for the complete installation package.
