I think you must set the SUITEINSTALLDIR property using a RegistrySearch. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_registrysearch.htm Why is the InstallDir registry value the KeyPath for all your files? Normally you have one component per .exe, .dll, .ocx and so on with the file as KeyPath. /Johan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
