Hi,
<Control Type="Text" Width="160" Height="9" X="124" Y="60"
Id="txtInstallLocationValue">
<Text>[INSTALLDIR]</Text>
</Control>
That should work without needing the Localization string as it appears
to localise whatever is inside the <text> tags as a matter of course at
install time. It certainly works for me & you can put other text around
the identifier if you like.
See http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_control.htm for more
info.
Cheers,

the UI?
Fixed it!
I had to create a Wix Localization string, and use that string in the
text control:
<WixLocalization>
<String Id="Dlg_InstallDir">[INSTALLDIR]</String>
</WixLocalization>
...
<Control Type="Text" Width="160" Height="10" X="124" Y="140"
Id="txtLocationValue" Text="$(loc.Dlg_InstallDir)"/>
Thanks for the help!

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the tip.
I've increased the width of the control to 250, which should be plenty I
guess, but it's not made any difference.
The Users can choose a different installation location, but this is done
earlier in the UI sequence using the standard CustomizeDlg. On the
screen I'm creating I just want to display the installation location.
Using an edit control works - the full path is displayed, But I just
want to display the value in a text field, not an edit box.
Any ideas?
Rik

I think this is because the width of the control is not wide
enough to display the whole thing, so it truncates it.
Do your users have the ability to browse to a new install
location? You might consider using a control of type 'Edit'.

Hi All,
WiX: v2
I'm trying to display the intended installation folder on a
confirmation type screen as part of the UI for the installation.
I'm using the following control:
<Control Type="Text" Width="160" Height="9" X="124"
Y="60" Id="txtInstallLocationValue" Text="[INSTALLDIR]" />
Where INSTALLDIR is the directory where my components will be
placed.
The GUI, however, only displays the last part of the path.
Something like: "..\Product Name"
How do I display the full path of the target folder?
