I think I know what you're getting at here. Say you click on the Browse
button and change the path, you want that path to show up in another dialog
later on in the UI sequence?
If that is the case, I found something kind of nifty.
<Publish Dialog="CustomizeDlg" Control="Next" Order="3"
Property="WixUI_BrowseTracePath"
Value="[MsiSelectionTreeSelectedPath][PRODUCTFOLDER]\Logs">
The way it works is, in the CustomizeDlg I set the INSTALLDIR after being
redirected to the BrowseDlg. [MsiSelectionTreeSelectedPath] holds that
value (I've never seen this property before, but noticed it getting set to
what I wanted when parsing through some logs from my install), then I
appended some stuff onto the end of the path. So, I wanted to use that new
path in a tracing dialog I set up that makes use of the Property
"WixUI_BrowseTracePath". I believe you can do the same thing w/ the
property you want set in your dialog.
Hope this can help you.
