Hi jeff:
You can use a property and a registry search.
Adapt th following code to you needs:
<Property Id="INSTALLDIR">
<RegistrySearch Id='AcmeFoobarRegistry' Type='raw'
Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Acme\Foobar 1.0' Name='InstallDir' />
</Property>
This was from the tutorial at:

Subject: [WiX-users] Detect the installation location of a product
Hi,
I want to create an MSI that detects the installation directory of
another
already installed product and then installs additional files and folders
to
that location. Is there a way I can do this in WiX? I am currently using
v2.
I am responsible for the installer of the product I want to detect, so I
know the upgrade code, product code, component guids etc, if those are
needed to achieve this.
Thanks for your time.
Jeff
