Hi Chris, If you will dark resulting msi (with merge module included), you'll see something like this:
<Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder.<GUID>" .. > . . . </Directory> . . . <InstallExecuteSequence> . . . <Custom Action="CommonAppDataFolder.<GUID>" Sequence="1" /> . . . </InstallExecuteSequence> . . . <CustomAction Id="CommonAppDataFolder.<GUID>" Property="CommonAppDataFolder.<GUID>" Value="[CommonAppDataFolder]" /> Alex -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@deploymentengineering.com] Sent: Friday, September 18, 2009 7:03 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Directory Table Question I thought I understood the Directory table and costing pretty well but there's something that I have working that I'm not sure why it's working. I have a WXS Merge Module snippet with: <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder"> ... </Directory> This results in a Merge Module and MSI with a Directory table entry of: CommonAppDataFolder.GUID TARGETDIR . When I run the installer, my components go where I'd expect them to be. I know that the Directory column can be a property, but I'm trying to figure out how this is working despite the modularization of the property. Is there an obsecure SDK page that I've missed?
