Brian, Sorry. :) That is just where I was "told" to have the setup install it. So what you're saying is that there is no way to have the installer default to "D:\" instead of "C:\Program Files\blah\blah\blah\"? If that's the case then they could just change the path in the drive\folder pick list.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Unresolved reference to symbol'Directory:INSTALLDIR' Hey James, Now you are asking me to give you information that is not a best practice (hard coding to a drive) <grin/>. It would be best that you specify, using all CAPITAL LETTERS (this is a public property in Windows Installer) the two different root directories. <Directory Id="ROOT_DIR1" Name="ROOT_DIR1"> <Directory Id="SubDir1" Name="SubDir1" /> </Directory> <Directory Id="ROOT_DIR2" Name="ROOT_DIR2"> <Directory Id="SubDir2" Name="SubDir2" /> </Directory> Then, when executing the MSI via the command line use something like this: msiexec /i product.msi ROOT_DIR1=D:\SomeFolder1 ROOT_DIR2=D:\SomeFolder2 Hope that helps, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity." - Me http://icumove.spaces.live.com On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 10:37 AM, MacDiarmid, James D < james.macdiar...@eds.com> wrote: > > Ok I see where there is a <DirectoryRef />.
