Thanks but that's not the behaviour I need. Perhaps my explanation wasn't clear.
The behaviour that I need is that when a particular registry entry exists the install location control is disabled so that the user cannot change the install directory. If the registry entry is not present then they can change the installation directory. I don't think the standard bootstapper application's theming is capable of that kind of customisation. I was hoping for a variable called DisableInstallDirControl or something like that which we could set during install depending on whether we found that registry entry or not.
