Do what Neil said, but this is a special case because there is already a property specifically for this called ARPINSTALLLOCATION. If you use this name, it's possible to get it back from MSI APIs using MsiGetProductInfo(). http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2011/1/14/ARPINSTALLLOCATION-and-how-to-se t-it-with-the-WiX-toolset -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: 02 August 2012 17:56 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: [WiX-users] Installation folder during maintenance Hi I need some confirmation on what I should do about setting the installation folder during maintenance mode. When the first time install sets the install location to non default location, does the msi remember this for subsequent maintenance operations? Or should I create a custom action during maintenance mode to read the install location from the registry and re-set it? I am finding different results with my testing. Sometimes this install location is remembered during maintenance and sometimes it goes back to default. Thanks!
