That's a direct assignment of the Directory name. So I expect you'll get "[MYCOMPANYNAME]" as your directory name. Same as if you did <Property Id="X" Value="[MYCOMPANYNAME]"/> you'd get "[MYCOMPANYNAME]". To have the value evaluated then assigned you need to use a custom action. In this case, a simple <SetProperty Id="DirectoryId" Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]\[MYCOMPANYNAME]" After="CostInitialize"/> should work. Or you could be more efficient and use a preprocessor variable to define both the Property and the Directory with the same value and reduce the complexity of your install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
