ProgramData is actually known as CommonAppDataFolder

x
so try
<Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder" >
<Directory Id="JetrionDir" Name="Jetrion">
<Directory Id="INKUSECONFIGDIR" Name="Ink Usage
Calculator"/>

Subject: [WiX-users] Installing files in second directory chain?
Hello,
I'm trying to install program files and configuration files.
On Windows 7, files in the c:\Program Files tree can't be modified, so I'm
installing the config files in c:\ProgramData. WIX won't let me.
All the WIX Directory examples I've seen have a SINGLE directory chain under
PFiles:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="JetrionFolder" Name="Jetrion">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Ink Usage Calculator"/>
</Directory>
</Directory> ...
What I want to do is have a second directory chain:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="JetrionFolder" Name="Jetrion">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Ink Usage Calculator"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
<Directory Id="JetrionMenuFolder" Name="Jetrion">
<Directory Id="ApplicationMenuFolder" Name="Ink Usage
Calculator"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="DesktopFolder"/>
<Directory Id="ConfigDir" Name="ProgramData">
<Directory Id="JetrionDir" Name="Jetrion">
<Directory Id="INKUSECONFIGDIR" Name="Ink Usage
Calculator"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
where the ConfigDir is c:\ProgramData..., and I use the INKUSECONFIGDIR id to
indicate where to place the files:
<DirectoryRef Id="INKUSECONFIGDIR">
<Component Id="InkConfigWhite"
Guid="A6E79454-202A-4203-B2DF-A6D03FCE7012">
<File Id="InkConfigWhite" Name="InkConfigWHITE.xml"
DiskId="1" Source=".\src\InkConfigWHITE.xml" KeyPath="yes" />
</Component> ...
But the files don't end up in C:\ProgramData\Jetrion\Ink Usage Calculator\...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Alan
