Subject: [WiX-users] How to force administrative install to INSTALLDIR
Hi NG, I am using the examples from the wix tutorial. When I try to perform an administrative install with such a package without UI ( msiexec /a package.msi INSTALLDIR=C:\users\volker\test\) it does not install to this given folder. Instead the package is installed to a location where my root directory is (H:\PFiles\test\) where the PFiles component comes from the ProgramFilesFolder directory with short name "PFiles". I searched the archives and documentation but did not came up with a solution. How can I force my package to be installed in the correct directory?
