By default WiX will choose the largest free space available drive (including
USB). But I need to eliminate USB.
Is that possible or any one has implemented that?

I've got a MSI that installs a virtual directory using the iis:WebVirtualDir

That is handled by the ROOTDRIVE property. Not sure you can avoid USB
drives, though.

By defaul in wix (I am using 3.5) the drive letter is selected to the

How can I make sure my installer will do the same (defaul to largest free
space drive) but on my physica disk.
Please advise.
Thanks,

I'm not confusing preprocessor extension with compiler extension. I'm trying to
throw a politer error.
Consider an unsupported function:
$(acmeCo.DoesNotExist("Hello"))
In the preprocessor implementation it throws an exception (e.g.
ArgumentException) you get a message similar to:

Yup, InstallShield has some really strong areas and some real weak areas.
That's why I blend WiX, IsWiX and InstallShield as needed.

If you're in an environment where the system account presents machine
