As the error message states it's a Public property, thus the reference should be " WINDOWSVOLUME"

I need to get the system drive of the target machine during installation. WindowsVolume appears to do that . So I am trying to use the predefined property WindowsVolume like this: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="WindowsVolume"> ... </Directory> </Directory> When I try to compile it, I get an error saying The Directory Name: WindowsVolume is the same as one of the MSI public properties and can cause unforeseen side effects. If I replace WindowsVolume with ProgramFilesFolder, it compiles fine. Why doesn't it compile with WindowsVolume property? Is there any other way to get the System Drive on the target machine so that I can install my files there?
