hello,

I'm repackaging a 3rd party product that we have purchased and integrating
some of our own additional files so we can get our deployment down to a
1-click process and not have to rely on people not making mistakes.

The files that we provide are webservices and get dropped into the
WebServicesDir & WebServicesBin folders.

The 3rd party items need to be dropped into 2 location.
[1]Windows\System32 (or platform specific variant)...works fine with
"SystemFolder".
[2]WindowsVolume\Foldername_with_8_character_limit

I'm stuggling with [2].  I can't find a way to specify what is essentially
"C:\MyFolder"  (for the default case)


This is what I have so far...

(company & folder names faked to protect the guilty)

<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
  <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
    <Directory Id="MyCompanyNameDir" Name="MyCompanyName">
      <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="FolderName1">
        <Directory Id="WebServicesDir" Name="WebServices">
        <Directory Id="WebserviceBin" Name="bin" />
      </Directory>
    </Directory>
  </Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="SystemFolder" />
<Directory Id="SomeDirectoryId" Name="MyFolder"/>
</Directory>

When I test I run the MSI from my E: drive (mutliple disks here) the
"SomeDirectoryId" resolves to "E:\MyFolder".
How can I make this resolve to "WindowsInstallDrive:\MyFolder"

Thanks
Phil
