Thanks for your pointer!
I did - what I failed to do was uppercase it...

No but you can use Process Monitor from SysInternals to watch everything
it does. It'll pinpoint when the error occurs.

Did you specify the Property ID for WIXUI_INSTALLDIR?
See Here:

Hi,
i have built an MSI with WIX (WixUI_INSTALLDIR) which installs just fine except
for one thing:
If a user overrides the default install path, the install still goes to the
default directory.
I have no clue where to even begin looking...
What could be going on?
Thanks for any help,

I concur with John's post. I make sure all projects can be built using
scripts that call MSBuild and VS. I avoid using VS events (PostBuild) in
favour of BeforeBuild and AfterBuild nearly every project. There are other
helpful MSBuild targets which can be reviewed by enabling a verbose build

It shouldn't, especially if the target is properly annotated with Inputs and
Outputs attributes. I use it extensively both in wixproj's and generally in
"ordinary" *proj's including sqlproj.
And I always verify I can build both from VS and from the command line.

Interesting, I wonder if BeforeBuild has the same (apparent, yet to be
confirmed) issue a PreBuild? I'll go read upon the two actions.

In my experience, using the BeforeBuild/AfterBuild targets explicitly is always
a better choice than PreBuild or PostBuild. The only advantage of
PreBuild/PostBuild is you don't need to know any MSBuild syntax. That's also
the main disadvantage.

I know this conversation is a bit old, but I figured out the real issue.
And it is worth sharing in case others run into a similar problem.
It appeared as though we had a build order issue with our wix projects as
described elsewhere in this thread (works in VS, but fails with MSBuild).
I "fixed"
3.9.
It uses the atom feed with the existing extensions defined by WiX (but the spec
hasn't been released) to locate the updates, and the Update element of the
bundle to identify the feed. If Update/@Location is specified, the engine will
now try to parse it if OnDetectUpdateBegin returns IDOK
Hi Jacob,
What branch is this in, 3.90 or 4?
Kind regards
Sean.
