Are you selecting this location via the BA or the MSI? The best way to do this
would be via the bundle, and pass it into the MSI as a property. That way you
can tell burn to remember the value of the variable for you.
<Variable Name="Foo" Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]\Bar" Persisted="yes"/>
<MsiPackage ...>
<MsiProperty Name="TARGETDIR" Value="[Foo]" />
</MsiPackage>

Subject: [WiX-users] Pass value from msi to bundle
I have a custom managed bootstrapper and I want to get a parameter from the msi
package that are installed in the bundle. So, when the msi has been installed I
want to get the installation directory out to the bootstrapper.
How can this be done in the best way? I read about storing values in the
registry but I don't understand how to find that from the bootstrapper since
registry searches are done before installations. Other ideas?
Thanks!
