Create a directory with the ID set to the same as the MSIProperty name, i.e.
INSTALLLOCATION. When the bootstrapper passes the property to the MSI, it
overrides the directory's default path in the MSI
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="CompanyProgramsDir" Name="Company PLC">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Productv1.0">

Subject: [WiX-users] Passing Location from Bootstrapper to MSI
I want to pass the Options Location in the Bootstrapper UI (
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense) to the MSI:
In Bundle:
<Variable Name="InstallFolder" Type="string"
Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]The Application"/>
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40ClientRedist"/>
<MsiPackage Id="MyApplication" SourceFile="$(var.MsiProject.TargetPath)">
<MsiProperty Name="INSTALLLOCATION" Value="[InstallFolder]"/>
</MsiPackage>
</Chain>
How to pickup this property in the MSI (I go for a MSI without a UI, and let
the bootstrapper be the only visible UI to the user)?
