Thanks John. I don’t understand why you specifically think it's ProgramMenuFolder? When the name was "Programs" and I installed to "C:\My Apps" it still created "C\My" .

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Extra Dir Created When Install Dir Has Spaces I'm not saying its invalid. I want to know the design decision behind it. Most of the time, I'm using ProgramMenuFolder to stick entries in the menu. I can move the path to that around, and it is perfectly valid, but I can't expect the functionality of adding a menu entry to work when I have directed it elsewhere. I any event, the ProgramMenuFolder entry is the one creating C:\Program. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@firegiant.com] Sent: Friday, January 9, 2015 1:21 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Extra Dir Created When Install Dir Has Spaces That's incorrect. It is totally valid to provide a Name attribute on a well-known folder. _____________________________________________________________ Short replies here.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Extra Dir Created When Install Dir Has Spaces OK, your WIXUI_INSTALLDIR is fine. This is the source of your problem: <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs"> Why are you overriding this pre-defined value? By doing so, its functionality is destroyed. Remove the Name attribute. Liikewise, why are you overriding ProgramFilesFolder? The predefined value sets a nice default which you can still override via the UI. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
