Title: WixUI_InstallDir problems

Hi,

I don't have these problems, but did you checked the wix.chm help (search for WIXUI_INSTALLDIR)?

Another great resource is the tutorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/index.php#TOC

I use the DirectoryRef-way.. Maybe that's why i don't have the problems :)

like:

Hi.

That almost did it, but I ran into another problem (which is the same issue really).

I have:

...

...

The installer defaults to:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\v2.0.0

I change it to:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\v3.0.0

And then I end up with the following folder structure:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\v2.0.0\bin

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\v3.0.0

It seems that the bin folder doesn't receive the new value of INSTALLLOCATION so it uses the previous value. Any idea as to what is causing this behavior?

I feel like I am doing something wrong here but I don't know what it is...

Most likely becouse you need to set the property to your installation location like this:

<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLLOCATION" />

Hi!

I have the following wxs file:

    <Property Id="INSTALLDIR">
      <RegistrySearch Id="Search" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\InetStp" Name="PathWWWRoot" Type="raw" />
    </Property>
    <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
      <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Inet" LongName="Inetpub">
        <Directory Id="ROOTDIR" Name="MyFld" LongName="MyFolder">
          <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="v2" LongName="v2.0.0">
            <Component Id="ConfigFiles" Guid="{myguid}">
              <File Id="MyAppFile" Name="Web.Co~" LongName="Web.Config" Vital="yes" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" Source="Web.Config">

              </File>
...
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" />
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />

I want the program location to be configurable. Like c:\inetpub\wwwroot can be configured
to c:\mypub\rootfolder but the program will always create the directory MyFolder\v2.0.0.
So if the user chooses c:\test then the program will be installed into c:\test\MyFolder\v2.0.0.

Everything is working during installation but the program always gets installed into the default value of the dialog (the one from registry).

If I change to WixUI_Minimal then everything works fine (I can change the installation folder).

Any help is very appreciated!
