The Value attribute of the Property element is not a "formatted" value (it is string literal). You instead need to schedule a custom action to create the value at an appropriate point in your sequence.
See the SetProperty element from the Wix schema in the help file/online help. That will do what you need. -----Original Message----- From: Sunkesula, Srivardhan [mailto:srivardhan.sunkes...@netapp.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 11:32 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] temp folder in wix Hi, I have a dialog in my installer where I have the browse option. The way I am trying to access the desktop folder is as shown below: <Property Id="BACKUP_DIR" Value="[DesktopFolder]" /> But this is giving the value as [DesktopFolder] instead of the actual path. Please let me know whats wrong in the above syntax. Thanks & Regards, Srivardhan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
