Can't you modify it in your C++ build? IIRC you can't manipulate strings beyond concatenation within WiX

Subject: [WiX-users] Passing the 'installdir' to a custom action in modified format Hi, I am facing a problem sending a string as a command line argument to a custom action which is a c++ build. Actually I need to send the Installation directory to the custom action. Suppose my user chooses installation directory as C:\Program Files\XYZ. But my custom action which is a c++ executable program needs the path as C:\\Program Files\\XYZ How do I convert 'C:\Program Files\XYZ' to 'C:\\Program Files\\XYZ' within the installer??
