OK - I've given up on the Advanced UI - it's to advanced for me.

In general, I'd suggest avoiding WixUI_Advanced when you're first getting started. It's complicated because it's trying to support both per-machine and per-user installs, which isn't easy. WixUI_InstallDir and WixUI_FeatureTree are both easier.

Get the path of the My Documents folder belonging to the current user and put it into a variable that I can use in the .wxs file. I also need to get the users data directory and some other properties but one example will probably help me enough :-)

Most folders are predefined for you; see "System Folder Properties" in the MSI SDK. Others are available in a new WiX standard custom action; see http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/ for the latest weekly release and "OSInfo custom actions" in WiX.chm.
