I have the following custom dialog in which I capture SQL login info and
the path to an existing FoxPro installation. I would like to check that
the path entered for the FoxPro path does exist before proceeding. I found
this solution for checking if a directory exists (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7144831/browsedialog-and-installdirdlg-wix
).

When I run the installer I get the same error whether I type in a good
locaiton, browse to a good location or enter a bad locaiton.
