I'm creating a program which is being installed by Wix, using VS 2010 and I've already got the product.wxs ready. In my wxs file, I've got directory definitions which looks like this: <SetDirectory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="[WindowsVolume]Myapp" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="Myapp"> <Directory Id="Myapp_Installer_Dir" Name="Myapp"> <Directory Id="BIN" Name="Bin" /> <Directory Id="ICONS" Name="Icons" /> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> And then I got these file installation definitions: <DirectoryRef Id="Myapp_Installer_Dir"> <Component Id="INSTALLER_Myapp" Guid="{94F18477-8562-4004-BC6F-5629CC19E4CB}" > <File Source="$(var.Myapp.TargetPath)" KeyPath="yes"/> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <DirectoryRef Id="BIN"> <Component Id="INSTALLER_Data" Guid="{545FB5DD-8A52-44D7-898E-7316E70A93F5}" > <File Source="$(var.Data.TargetPath)" KeyPath="yes"/> </Component> ... And it continues in that manner and the files for the "ICONS" directory are defined as well. I am also using the WixUI_InstallDir dialog set and I got these lines present as well: <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="Myapp_Installer_Dir" /> <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /> The problem I'm facing is that when the user installs the program and changes the value of the installation folder, the files of the "Bin" and "Icons" are installed to their correct location as the user wanted, but the Myapp target is installed to a constant location no matter what which is to this directory that was defined earlier: <Directory Id="Myapp_Installer_Dir" Name="Myapp"> Why does only the bin and icons files are installed to the correct folder the user wanted, but the myapp target does not? How can I fix this? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Possible-bug-with-WixUI-InstallDir-tp7589722.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
