All I can see in the documentation is this: "The SetTargetPath event notifies the installer to check and set the selected path. If the path is not valid to be written to, then the installer blocks further ControlEvents associated with the control."
This is a standard part of Windows Installer - there isn't any WiX-supplied code at this point. Perhaps you should ensure that the TARGETDIR property is appropriately initialised before beginning the UI? Having said that, it should be initialised to ROOTDRIVE if not otherwise initialised, and ROOTDRIVE is initialised to the drive with the most free space, so I can't see why this would be a problem. Is this reproducible on a clean system? On Windows XP? (your screenshot looks like Windows Vista with the Classic theme) I think this may be a case for Product Support Services. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matias Woloski Sent: 01 October 2007 22:03 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] The folder path '?' contains an invalid character Hi, Were facing an issue with the attached Wix file (SampleWIX.wxs) and Wix 3.0. When the user enters the path *for the first time* where the application will be installed and press Next it shows up an error message: The folder path '?' contains an invalid character (see screenshot). Pressing ok and Next again will work. Do you have any ideas?
