Hi billa,
That is just a copy and paste kind of installation so that
product doesn't have any registry entry.
Could you please tell me the exact steps.

If you are installing based on an already installed product, don't let
the user browse to the installed location; they may get it wrong or not
know where it's installed. Instead, use a registry or directory search
to find where the installed application resides and set the path in a
property. As for finding the parent directory, you will probably have
to write a custom action that reads the property that was set from the
search, calculates the parent directory, and sets a new property
containing the parent directory path. You could schedule that CA to run
right after RegistrySearch and/or DirectorySearch.

Thanks for your response.
That scenario is taken care of. Actually the user will chose the
path for an installed product that is having directory path up to 3
levels deep.

What happens when the user picks C:\?

Subject: [WiX-users] how to get parent directory of a
folder
Hi,
I have a requirement to install some files
in a folder (chosen by user) and some other files to the parent of that
folder. Now I am getting the folder by providing a browse dialog and
getting in a property. Can any one tell me how to get the parent
directory of that folder? i.e. how to modify the property, having the
folder path, to get it's patent directory.
Thanks
Bibhuti
