Look in a verbose log. It is possible that INIPATH has the merge module's GUID appended to it in its name.

So we have the following situation: There is a property named CMSHOST which contains the respective value that should be written to the .ini file. My code in the product section is the following: <Property Id='INIPATH'> <DirectorySearch Id='Check08Dir' Path='[INSTALLDIR]\$(var.RelativeIniPath)'></DirectorySearch> </Property> <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> <Component Id="ConfigIni" Guid=""> <IniFile Id="configIni" Action="addLine" Directory="INIPATH" Section="Test" Name="$(var.IniFileName)" Key="de.docufy.cosima.ui.parts/cmshost" Value="[CMSHOST]" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef > Setup breaks with an 2434 Error. Log is DEBUG: Error 2343: Specified path is empty. It seems that INIPATH has not been set properly. Why? How is it possible to search for a path inside the package in order to modifiy my ini-file which is also part of the package? The easier thing would be to reference directly the Directory ID in the Directory Table where the .ini file is placed. But as this part is a merge module I can´t access these references in my product-tag, can I? Please help - I am trying for at least 5 hours searching the whole web, but found just nothin related. Thanks a lot! Best Regards, Jonas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
