I'm trying to (using WiX V2) create a directory where the name is supplied
via CustomAction. The customaction determines the name and creates a
property (I've also supplied the property on the msiexec command-line, same
diff). But I don't know how to specify the LongName and Name fields of the
Directory (as well as a shortcut created on the desktop that should have the
same visible name as the property) so that the value is taken from the
property.
I tried
<Directory Id='CustomDir' Name='[SHORTDIRECTORY]'
LongName='[LONGDIRECTORY]'>
<Component Id=...>
<CreateFolder/>
<Shortcut Id='CustomDirSc' Directory='DesktopFolder'
Name='[SHORTDIRECTORY]'
LongName='[LONGDIRECTORY]' WorkingDirectory='CustomDir'/>
</Component>
</Directory>
but it actually creates a real folder called [LONGDIRECTORY], with square
brackets and all.
If anybody could point me at how to specify a directory and Shortcut in the
way I need it, I'd be happy!
Thanks,
Eric T.
