I have a custom action and am trying to access the Install Directory, or Target 
path (the base folder that the user chooses to install to).

Within my Action, I tried pulling it from Session. TARGETDIR maps to "C:\", 
despite installing it to program files, and INSTALLDIR yields empty stirng. 
What am I missing? I also tried passing the INSTALLDIR in the CustomAction tag 
with the Directory attribute, but it comes back saying that it can't be 
something in brackets.


[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult SetEfxZlibLibrary(Session session)
{
                session.Log("Begin CA");

                string installDirectory = session["INSTALLDIR"];

                // ....
}


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
  <?include Includes.wxi ?>
                <Fragment>
    <CustomAction Id='SetEfxZlibLibraryAction' BinaryKey='CustomActionBinary' 
DllEntry='SetEfxZlibLibrary' Execute='immediate'
                  Return='check'/>

    <Binary Id="CustomActionBinary" 
SourceFile="$(var.CustomInstallActionsFile)"/>
                </Fragment>
</Wix>



Thanks,
