A property and a directory ID are both kinds of properties. You use NEWLOC1
as a directory ID and you write your directory structure so that the default
locations for the 2 properties are the IDs of their corresponding directories
in the tree:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
-- default directory structure for INSTALLDIR
-- default directory structure for NEWLOC1
</Directory>
So if the default for INSTALLDIR was ProgramFiles/Application and the default
for NEWLOC1 was Programfiles/SomewhereElse, youd write it like this:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFiles">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Application">
---other application components
</Directory>
<Directory Id="NEWLOC1" Name="SomewhereElse">
-- components and file share for abc and efg
</Directory>
<Directory>
</Directory>
If the user specifies locations for either of those directory properties, the
new location will override the default one.

Subject: [WiX-users] Files to install in a location other than INSTALLDIR
Hi,
In my setup, I want to install 2 files say 'abc.txt' and 'efg.txt' in a
separate location other than the default install location (INSTALLDIR). This
separate location is also user-specified and I am storing the path in a
property called 'NEWLOC1'. I also need to do a 'FileShare' of this location
in read-mode. All other files will be installed in the default install
location (INSTALLDIR) which also is user-specified. My main problem is that I
don't know how to install these two files in the separate location
([NEWLOC1]) other than INSTALLDIR.
Please help me in finding a solution to my problem.
Thanks.
With Regards,
// Sudripta.
