Hi,
Read a registry value and assign to a property like so
<Property Id='VS2008'>
<RegistrySearch Id='VisualStudio2008'
Root='HKLM'
Key='SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0'
Name='InstallDir'
Type='raw' />
</Property>
Then you will start your directory structure like so
<Directory Id='VS2008' Name='.'>
<!-- Your directories and components here -->
</Directory>
Note DirectoryID is the same as the property id.
Regards
Stephen
