I can't see your code properly but it will probably be because your MSI is 32 bit and running on a 64 bit OS. Windows automatically transforms the folder to the x86 one.
If you want to target program files on a 64 bit OS you should create a 64 bit MSI.

First time posting here I've just started with WiX, and i was wondering if anyone could be of assistance for an issue i've been having. For my MSI, I've had two exe's that get installed as part of the MSI. They get saved in C:\Program Files. When i try to reference the path of C:\Program Files, i keep getting transferred to C:\Program Files (x86) instead, and obviously when i try to run the uninstall script of the third party exe's they cant be found. Anyone know why this might happen? Just some of the code i have defaults.wxi <?define AppDir="C:\Program Files\" ?> main.wxs . . . -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WiX-Uninstallin g-custom-action-exe-s-64-bit-Folder-issue-tp6168082p6168082.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users SDL PLC confidential, all rights reserved.
