I probably didn't read the messages in the right order (sometimes they come out-of-order and I don't always succeed in matching up the timestamps to get them right).
The following is for the benefit of the community (I'm sure you've read this): the docs say about DirProperty: Name of a property whose value is assumed to resolve to the full path to the folder of the file to be removed. The property can be the name of a directory in the Directory table, a property set by the AppSearch table, or any other property that represents a full path. This is a complete shot in the dark: Does the property containing the path contain any weird navigations like embedded "\..\" sequences or anything? It does start with "<drive-letter>:\" and end in a "\", correct? It doesn't have "/" in it, right? -----Original Message----- From: Elfe Xu [mailto:elf...@microsoft.com] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 12:20 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table? Thanks Blair. I've already have the version problem resolved by adding the version resource. This time it's the 2727 fatal error again. Because on my machine seems the if I add rows to RemoveFile with normal property, the installer will fail because the DirProperty is not in Directory table. However, Rob says he has use this approach successfully before. So I wander if it's because the platform/WI version that cause the different behavior.
