Well, good idea, even though this is not the Problem, since it does not come to that point either. As soon as the user clicks the browse-button the error is thrown. Even if the directory changed by the user is overwritten, why are only the directorys of that one msm in user given path and all other files and dirs in the overwritten one. If the custom action overwrites the directory, it should overwrite it for all msm, shouldn' t it?

If the custom action overwrites the directory, it should overwrite it for all msm, shouldn' t it? That depends on the timing of the CA. Directories used as targets in merge modules need to be set early. I suggest looking at a verbose log for the CostFinalize directory dump. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [WiX-users] CustomUI change install path not possible?
Hello Bob, When we come to the InstallDirDlg, the directory is shown correctly, if the DirectorySet ca is run early enough. If the user now wishes to customize this path, I get an error 2707, that the path does not exist, when I start up the BrowseDlg. Error 2707 includes the directory causing the error. What is it? The doc says that the directory must be listed in the Directory table. Is it? The directory causing the error is the TARGETDIR. The root path of the installation and yes, the main component has a CreateFolder tag for it.

[WiX-users] CustomUI change install path not possible?
Hello again, I now have the problem, that in our setup we first search if drive e: is present and set the TARGETDIR-Property to a folder on e: otherwise c:. This is done like this: Property Id='NEWINSTALLDIR' Value='C:\' DirectorySearch Id='MSEwsDefaultInstallRoot_Search' Path='E:\' Depth='1'/ /Property CustomAction Id=DirectorySet Property=TARGETDIR Value=[NEWINSTALLDIR]Software\ / InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action='DirectorySet' Before='LaunchConditions'/ /InstallExecuteSequence When we come to the InstallDirDlg, the directory is shown correctly, if the DirectorySet ca is run early enough. If the user now wishes to customize this path, I get an error 2707, that the path does not exist, when I start up the BrowseDlg. It is said, that the customized Path must be set before the CostInitialize [1]. If I schedule it like the BrowseDlg is shown after the CostInitialize I get an error 2732, cause the directory manager is not initialized [2]. If I do not schedule any dialog, part of my files and folders are installed into the directory of DirectorySet, and part of them are installed in the new customized path that the user clicked in the BrowseDlg. I use mergemodules for different parts of our solution. Exactly, the Folders of one MergeModule, which uses the IisExtension, are installed into the customized path, all other files are installed to the path of DirectorySet, which should be overwritten by the Result from the BrowseDlg. Througout our setup we only use one property for rootpath and that is TARGETDIR. Any hints welcome...
