Use a Type 51 Custom Action.
<Directory Id="GITLOCATION" Name="Git">
[author your plug-in components & directory structure here]
</Directory>
<CustomAction Id="SetPluginInstallLocation" Property="GITLOCATION"
Value="[GITSEARCHPROPERTY]" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetPluginInstallLocation" After="AppSearch" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Substitute GITSEARCHPROPERTY for whatever you have named the Property
you populate with the RegistrySearch. That way GITLOCATION will be
dynamically set depending on the RegistrySearch result.
You may want to also use the RegistrySearch Property in a
LaunchCondition so your installer doesn't try to install when Git isn't
installed (unless the plug-in is an optional component of your installer
in which case use the Property as a Feature or Component Condition
instead).

Subject: [WiX-users] Installing a file in a directory found
withregistrysearch
Hello,
I wrote an installer that installs my application in Program
Files\[Company Name]\[Product Name].This is a plugin for Git. I need to
install my plugin *and* add the correct hook to the Git directory.
Where Git is installed, is found out by using a registrysearch.
I'm using the registrysearch to place the directory where Git is
installed in a property. However, I'm at a loss how to use this property
to install my hook in the correct directory.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
