It's a build-time constant, not an install-time value. So you can use the Inno Setup Preprocessor add-on to define such constants. (You can install it easily via the QuickStart pack).

Use the constant in [Setup]:

AppName={#AppName}

And in Pascal code, I'm not totally sure of the syntax, but something like:

MyString := {#AppName}
