You mentioned before that you wanted "variable for later usage", these are called properties in MSI. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370889(VS.85).aspx. You'll want to set that to a public property (all capital letters) so that it can be specified on the commandline when the user doesn't run your installer at full UI. For more information about using the PathEdit control see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370749(VS.85).aspx.
