Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Extra Dir Created When Install Dir Has Spaces Thank you and my apologies for not including this critical information. I am using WixUIExtensions so this is a graphical, interactive installation. My UI is a modified version of WixUI_InstallDir.wxs. I did verify that the problematic directory is not created until after you confirm installation via the UI. Also, the application installs correctly in C:\Program Files(x86)\protop3 or c:\My Apps\protop3. Everything works as expected EXCEPT this additional directory that is created.
