"DirProperty Name of a property having a value that resolves to the full path of the folder containing the .ini file. 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. If this field is left blank, the .ini file is created in the folder having the full path specified by the WindowsFolder property." Unless I'm missing something obvious, shouldn't it be as simple as specifying a value for DirProperty? We do this from WiX in our product with no problems so far... don't really see why a custom action would be needed... -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 15:03 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] write to IniFile Yep, annoying, eh? The MSI SDK documents that behavior. Want to contribute a custom action that does better?
