Hello, I use CustomActions like ... ExeCommand='DoSomethingWith
[INSTALLDIR]someFile.txt'they are called on installation and
uninstallation...After='InstallFinalize'>NOT REMOVE</Custom> <= for
install
...Before='RemoveFiles'>Installed AND NOT REINSTALL</Custom> <=
for uninstall
my Directory Def:<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'>
<Directory Id='DirectoryManufacturer' Name='Company Name'>
<Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Product Name'> <Merge
Id='MergeTestApplication' Language='1033' SourceFile='TestApplication.msm'
DiskId='1' /> </Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory> see, there is no Component as child of any Dir, only a
Merge-Element. At installation time I change the default installation path
fromc:\Program Files\Company Name\Product Nameto c:\Program Files\Company
Name\Banana installation works fine, I see (verbose log): PROPERTY CHANGE:
Adding INSTALLDIR property. Its value is 'c:\Program Files\Company Name\Banana'
on uninstall the INSTALLDIR is not set right. I see ( verbose log ):PROPERTY
CHANGE: Adding INSTALLDIR.3086A185_F1DB_4B25_AC4C_7335D5768652 property. Its
value is 'c:\Program Files\Company Name\Banana'. Where does the
.3086A185_F1DB_4B25_AC4C_7335D5768652 comes from ?later in the log I
see:PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding INSTALLDIR property. Its value is 'C:\Program
Files\Company Name\Product Name'.So, INSTALLDIR ( without some GUID ) is set to
the default path. of cause ... ExeCommand='DoSomethingWith
[INSTALLDIR]someFile.txt' fails. someFile.txt not found on default path. If I
add a dummy component to the Directory it works![...] <Directory
Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Product Name'>
<Component Id='IdDummyComp' Guid='{89B2AED7-A40E-4E17-8FF4-414604D72C01}'>
<File Id ='fooFile' Source='Files\foo.txt' />
</Component> <Merge Id='MergeTestApplication' Language='1033'
SourceFile='TestApplication.msm' DiskId='1' /> </Directory>
[...] Is that a bug or do I something wrong ?
