I'm bumping this up because it still doesn't seem to work. Since the last couple of wix builds there has been a directorysear...@assigntoproperty, but the created .msi files still look the same and the returned value is the file path, not the folder. Just tested with Build 4923.
Anyone having success using a FileSearch and have the folder returned?

My Property / DirectorySearch / FileSearch attempts just won't create the right table entries, will someone show me how to do this please. Incidentally, I've tried using Dark.exe to reveal the WiX syntax, but without success. _____ See what you're getting into.before you go there.
