You might want to check the Template wix extensions in http://msiext.codeplex.com. You can write something like [INSTALLLOCATION] in your file and it will get replaced on install.

Subject: [WiX-users] Replace path text inside installed files. Does anyone have a sample of how to replace text inside a file (or set of files) based upon install path? Basically, I have a DLL that will be installed where the users want to install it BUT the samples that they can compile and test against point to never never land (i.e. some path in my development environment). I would like to replace the path inside the project file with the appropriate installed path. 1) is this possible 2) is there a sample somewhere of doing this?
