Ok. I will try this.
The code should look like this then I guess:
|<Property Id="SUITEINSTALLDIR">
<RegistrySearch Id="SUITEINSTALLDIR" Type="directory" Root"HKLM"
Key="|Software\MyCompany\MyProduct\MySuite\MyModule|" Name="InstallDir" />
</Property>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
snip ....
<Directory Id="SUITEINSTALLDIR" Name="MySuite">
</Directory>
snip ....
</Directory>
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="SUITEINSTALLDIR" />
<UIRef Id="MyProduct_UI" />
<UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" />|
But, will this work on first install (the registry key will not be
found)? Will the SUITEINSTALLDIR Property have a default value?

My fault. The extracted code was incomplete. There was a missing
</Component> after the Registry entries :)
Thanks again for your help.
