YES! That was it! Thank you so much. I've been banging my head against a
wall on this one for a while. I couldn't for the life of me find a solution
on the net. Below is the changed markup in my exit dialog for any who
experience the same issue. (I saw a lot of the same questions in multiple
places.) Thanks again.
<Control Id="Finish" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Cancel="no" Text="[Button_Finish]">
<Publish Event="SetTargetPath" Value="INSTALLDIR">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="DoAction" Value="LaunchApplication">(NOT Installed) AND
(LAUNCHPRODUCT = 1)</Publish>
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish>
</Control>

How are you changing it? You have to use SetTargetPath control events,
otherwise you're updating only the specific directory, not subdirectories.

It'll have that value until after the CostFinalize action, I believe.
