Moogle. I like that. You should blog that one. Maybe it'll stick.

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_Advanced Usage
1. Advanced UI takes a bit of work to make it work. Bob can answer the questions better (one day he promises he's going to write a compiler extension to make it easier) 2. How to reference env vars? Do you want build time or run time? Build time: $(env.BUILDMACHINEVAR). Run time: [%CUSTOMERSMACHINEVAR] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Glen Harvy Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 7:27 AM To: WiX Users Group Subject: [WiX-users] WixUI_Advanced Usage Hi, Only just learning this new program and have started in the deep end with Wix3. I am trying to create my directory levels as follows: Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Name=PFiles Directory Id=AquariusCommsFolder Name=Aquarius Communications 2 Directory Id=APPLICATIONFOLDER Name=[ApplicationFolderName] Component Id=Bin ApplicationFolderName is MyClubV2. The problem is that when installing using WixUI_Advanced, the default all users directory is coming up as C:\Program Files\MyClubV2 and not C:\Program Files\Aquarius Communications 2\MyClubV2 as I want it to. How do I get around this? Also, when I used INSTALLDIR in place of APPLICATIONFOLDER (and used WixUI_INSTALLDIR) the full path as I wanted worked. Another question while I'm here :-) : How do I retrieve user environment variables into WiX ? Thanks in advance.

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_Advanced Usage
Please keep wix-users on the mail as well, so everyone learns. 1. Again, Bob wrote the Advanced UI and can answer your questions. I try to stay away from UI. 2. The build time syntax I provided below is documented in the Wix.chm under the Preprocessor topic, since build variables are done by the Preprocessor in the WiX toolset. For MSI? The MSI SDK will document what I sent you. Probably under the Formatted topic. If you haven't read through the MSI SDK (it's part of MSDN), I recommend it. You'll learn much. From: Glen Harvy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 2:54 PM To: Rob Mensching Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_Advanced Usage Hi, Thanks for your response. Having the application installed into the directory I ask it to be installed in rather than one up is probably something that is pretty common but I guess using Wix3 in general and WixUI_Advanced in particular is not pretty common - particularly to a new user. Is there an alternate but reasonably well documented alternative to the Advanced UI that will achieve the same thing. I need to learn how this works and although I may need to write a fair bit of code it will do me no harm. With regard to 2.- where on earth do I find some documentation on these variables and how to access or set them? There's nothing in the Help File and Googling reveals nothing as well. I need to set the application install directory as well as the application data directory in the Registry. Once again - thanks for your assistance. Glen.
