But this is a windows installer variable (supposed to set by the windows installer service itself) and it should be safe to use it. MSI doesn't set INSTALLDIR; it's entirely up to your package what the directory structure looks like. MSI records where it installs components but doesn't persists property changes your package makes. If you need that data, you need to persist it (e.g., in the registry) and load it (using RegistrySearch). -- sig://boB http://bobs.org
