WIX Version: 2.0.4415.0 Problem Summary: How to use properties with
Directory elements Sorry for the newbie questions…but I’m
learning. I use the BrowseDlg from the WiXUI library to get a data
directory from the user. I store the user’s selection in a
property. Now I need to create the directory using this property. I
have tried the following WiX code but when I run the MSI I immediately get this
error “Could not access network location CommonAppDataFolder”. How do I use properties with the Directory element? <?xml version='1.0'?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'> <Product Id='457E3468-BA41-47bd-83A8-F6D44B282171'
