You don't need a CustomAction. The Windows Installer has built in variables for a great many paths in Windows. WindowsFolder in this case. MSI SDK lists them all.

I ran into the following issue: I am building an msi in Vista (let's just say client) that could be installed either on Vista (client) or Win 2003 Server OS. One of the issues was that the framework resides under C:\WINNT in the server OS, and under C:\Windows in client (vista in my case). Apparently, any environment variables in wxs are resolved at compile, not run time. Is the only way to make it possible to use one MSI to do a CustomAction that first determines which of the OS's I'm running on and then attempt to set the property? Is that even possible? Thanks for any tips :) -greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
