I assume by "update" you mean major upgrades?
You could simply Condition the calls to InstallDirDlg from
LicenseAgreementDlg & VerifyReadyDlg appropriately so it only shows
during first install.

Subject: [WiX-users] Let the user choose the installation directory only
on first install, and not on updates

Hi all,

I have the requirement to change the installer to do the following:
- on first install to give the user the chance to choose the
installation directory
- on updates _not_ to give the user the option to chose the installation
directory (the directory used for the previous installation will be used
for updates by default)

I'm using right now:
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" /> <UIRef
Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /> <UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" />

I assume, theoretically, I could do one of the following:
- either somehow disable the "Change" button on the Installation
directory Dialog, in case of updates
- or to show on first installation the WixUI_InstallDir and on updates
the WixUI_Minimal

But I don't know how to implement any of above. Can somebody give me
some ideas?

Thanks!
MeCoco
