This is expected behavior. Only one directory per Directory table record is permitted. You are trying to specify two.
Hi, I'm using WiX version 3.0.4513.0. Our installer allows for a .wxl- specified installation location using the following tagset: <String Id="IDS_INSTALLDIR">InstallLocation</String> where InstallLocation is a relative directory to be used for the installation path. I'm getting the following error when running light.exe if I provide an install location with a backslash in it: error LGHT0204 : ICE03: Invalid DefaultDir string; Table: Directory, Column: DefaultDir, Key(s): INSTALLDIR The tagset in this case looks like this: <String Id="IDS_INSTALLDIR">dir1\dir2</String> Maybe I'm blind, but I did look through the issue tracker for other issues like this and didn't find any. I'm wondering, is this a known issue? Has it been fixed in a later release? Or is this behavior intentional - and if so, how should we specify nested directories for our default installation directory? I'd like to know before I start digging into the light.exe code. -- Matt Ryan Development Lead, Windows Client ma...@decho.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/LGHT0204-error-when-string-contains-%27%5C%27---known-issue--tp2558030p2558138.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
