Try this instead:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="pfiles">
<Directory Id="productFolder" Name="Windows Product">
<Directory Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Name="application">
// components go here
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="PMF">
<Directory Id="ProductMenuFolder" Name="Windows Product"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>

Hello,
[Please include me directly in your responses, as I'm not on this list.]
I am using Wix version 3.0.2420.0
I'm using WIXUI_INSTALLDIR to prompt the user to enter an altnernate
install location for the product. I am following the example outlined in the
help for the WIXUI_INSTALLDIR dalog set. I set the value of WIXUI_INSTALLDIR
to the Directory Id of the default location, and this shows up in the dialog
correctly. But If I change this location via the dialog (to c:\OtherFolder),
the components are still copied to the default location. From the log, it
looks like The application folder property (property representing my
Directory ID) is being set after the files have been copied:
InstallFiles: File: VirtualProduct.exe, Directory: C:\Program
Files\Windows Product\application\, Size: 69120
Property(S): applicationFolder = C:\Program Files\Windows
Product\application\
Property(S): WIXUI_INSTALLDIR = applicationFolder
Property(C): applicationFolder = C:\OtherFolder\
Property(C): WIXUI_INSTALLDIR = applicationFolder
My directory structure looks like this:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="pfiles">
<Directory Id="productFolder" Name="Windows Product">
<Directory Id="applicationFolder" Name="application">
// components go here
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="PMF">
<Directory Id="ProductMenuFolder" Name="Windows Product"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="applicationFolder"/>
Am I missing something? Do I need to somehow add WIXUI_InSTALLDIR to my
directory tree? Thanks for your time.
