I think you better off with $(env.SystemDrive) but that is only available in
WinNT or this property:
WindowsVolume Property
The installer sets the WindowsVolume property to the volume of the windows
folder. The property always ends with a backslash. This can be used to set the
default location to the volume the Windows folder is on because the ROOTDRIVE
<https://owa.nl.logicacmg.com/exchange/75971/Drafts/RE:%20%5BWiX-users%5D%20Install%20to%20ROOTDRIVE.EML/rootdrive.htm>
property does not necessarily equal this drive.
I believe this should work then (not tried):
<CustomAction Id="CA_TARGETDIR" Return="check" Execute="firstSequence"
Property="TARGETDIR" Value="[WindowsVolume]" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_TARGETDIR"
After="ValidateProductID"><![CDATA[TARGETDIR=""]]></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Subject: [WiX-users] Install to ROOTDRIVE
I am looking to have my application default to installing on the same
drive that they have Windows installed on. I believe that is called the
ROOTDRIVE. However using the following it defaults to whatever drive
the installer is launched from.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="CompanyFolder" Name="CompanyName" >
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="ProductName">
How can I change the above so that it defaults to the root drive where
they installed Windows?
Thanks
Darrell
