Take a look at the verbose log file. It will show you the state changes of
INSTALLPATH. My bet is that you'll find the Windows Installer is setting
INSTALLPATH to the default during some initialization.

Subject: [WiX-users] Installer will not preserve the previous installed
location.
Hi,
Now I run into an issue related to the previous selected new location will not
be populated back when I do "change" installation second time. The Feature's
ConfigurableDirectory attribute will only allow me to change the installed
location of the application first time.
<Feature Id="NewSuite" ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLPATH"
InstallDefault="local" Title="New Suite" Level="1">...
Let say I change the default location "c:\Program File\NewSuite" to
"c:\temp\NewSuite". Then I launch the installation program again and click the
Modify button in the Custom Dialog screen. The "New Suite" feature will show
up with default path "c:\Program File\NewSuite" and the installation program
does not provide me with Browse button. Therefore, when I install some other
features which will force to put into the wrong location, "c:\Program
File\NewSuite", instead of previous installed location "c:\temp\NewSuite".
Then the application stops working.
Do you have any suggestion how to fix it?
Many thanks,
Kai
