Problem is probably that the CustomActions are 32-bit and that is causing the paths to get switched over. If so, it's a bug in the CustomAction.

I am testing an app that performs a database install using the SqlDatabase element. I am passing the paths to the data an log files as properties. However, even when the path has been CORRECTLY set in the UI to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA" (and verified that the property was definitely updated to this value via the installer log), the CREATE DATABASE command fails. If I run a trace, I can see that it is specifying a FILENAME='C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\ThermoAnalytics.mdf'. WHERE/WHAT/WHY is my correct ""C:\Program Files" file path updated to the INCORRECT "'C:\Program Files (x86)" path?? I am running Vista 64 bit SP1.
