Hi all,
my installer should set some environment variabes A and B.

Normaly i have to do something like this;

<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
      <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
        <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION"
                   Name="MyDir">
 
          <Component Id="Component1"
                     Guid="GUID">

            <Environment Id="IdA"
                         Action="set" 
                         Part="all"
                         Name="A"
                         Permanent="no"
                         System="yes"
                         Value="123" />

        <Environment Id="IdB"
                         Action="set" 
                         Part="all"
                         Name="B"
                         Permanent="no"
                         System="yes"
                         Value="456" />
          </Component>
        </Directory>
      </Directory>
  </Directory>

But what i want is installing the variables without referencing any directory

Some thing like this:

<Fragment > 
          <Component Id="Component1"
                     Guid="GUID">

            <Environment Id="IdA"
                         Action="set" 
                         Part="all"
                         Name="A"
                         Permanent="no"
                         System="yes"
                         Value="123" />

        <Environment Id="IdB"
                         Action="set" 
                         Part="all"
                         Name="B"
                         Permanent="no"
                         System="yes"
                         Value="456" />
          </Component>
</Fragment>

But also doing so doesn't work...This is because the "directory atrribute from 
component element should be inserted".

The question here: Why specifying a directory when installing environment 
variables??????????
