Hi,

Is there any simple way to remove the slash at the end of a directory
property, or remove the last character from a property value?

I'm trying to change attributes for a folder using a custom action at the
end of the installation but the attrib command from windows doesn't like the
slash at the end of the directory property.

Here is a sample of my code:

...

     <CreateFolder Directory="DocumentsFolder" />

...

     <CustomAction Id="SetQtExecCmdLine" Return="check"
Property="QtExecCmdLine"
         Value='"[SystemFolder]attrib.exe" +S +H "[DocumentsFolder]"' />

     <CustomAction Id="QtExec" BinaryKey="wixca" DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
       Execute="immediate" Return="check" />
     <Binary Id="wixca" src="$(var.ResourcesDir)\wixca.dll" />

     <InstallExecuteSequence>
       <Custom Action="SetQtExecCmdLine" After="CostFinalize" />

       <Custom Action="QtExec" After="InstallFinalize"/>
     </InstallExecuteSequence>


The [DocumentsFolder] is replaced by "c:\some\path\", with a "\" in the end.

Thanks,
Ricardo Lopes.
