Look at InstallDirDlg.wxs in the WiX sources. It does exactly what you're trying to do without any problems.
Why are you trying to re-write this when it already exists in WiXUIExtension?

I have it display the contents of INSTALLDIR, and the Browse button works fine. The only problem is that when you OK the Browse dialog and get back to the Destination Folder dialog, the label that displays the selected path does not update to show the new path. If I click Next to go to the next dialog, and then hit back, it will show the new path. So, this seems to be a refresh problem. Is there an event I can subscribe to that will cause a label to refresh when the Browse dialog goes away? Here's the dialog's code: <Dialog Id="DestinationDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="[ProductName] [Setup]" NoMinimize="yes" TrackDiskSpace="yes"> <Control Id="Browse" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="200" Width="56" Height="17" Text="[ButtonText_Browse]"> <!--<Publish Event="SelectionBrowse" Value="BrowseDlg">1</Publish>--> <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="BrowseDlg">1</Publish> <Condition Action="hide">Installed</Condition> </Control> <Control Id="Back" Type="PushButton" X="180" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Text="[ButtonText_Back]"> <Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="MaintenanceTypeDlg"><![CDATA[InstallMode = "Change"]]></Publish> <Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="SetupTypeDlg"><![CDATA[InstallMode = "Custom"]]></Publish> </Control> <Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="[ButtonText_Next]"> <Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">1</Publish> <Subscribe Event="SelectionNoItems" Attribute="Enabled" /> </Control> <Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Cancel="yes" Text="[ButtonText_Cancel]"> <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="CancelDlg">1</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="BannerBitmap" Type="Bitmap" X="0" Y="0" Width="370" Height="44" TabSkip="no" Text="[BannerBitmap]" /> <Control Id="Description" Type="Text" X="25" Y="23" Width="280" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes"> <Text>Select the way you want features to be installed.</Text> </Control> <Control Id="Text" Type="Text" X="25" Y="55" Width="320" Height="20"> <Text>Click on the icons in the tree below to change the way features will be installed.</Text> </Control> <Control Id="BottomLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="234" Width="370" Height="0" /> <Control Id="Title" Type="Text" X="15" Y="6" Width="200" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes"> <Text>{\DlgTitleFont}Custom Setup</Text> </Control> <Control Id="BannerLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="44" Width="370" Height="0" /> <Control Id="Location" Type="Text" X="75" Y="200" Width="215" Height="20"> <Text>[INSTALLDIR]</Text> <Subscribe Event="EndDialog" Attribute="BrowseDlg" /> <Condition Action="hide">Installed</Condition> </Control> <Control Id="LocationLabel" Type="Text" X="25" Y="200" Width="50" Height="10" Text="Location:"> </Control> </Dialog> And the Browse dialog, just in case you need to see it: <Dialog Id="BrowseDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="[ProductName] [Setup]" NoMinimize="yes"> <Control Id="PathEdit" Type="PathEdit" X="84" Y="202" Width="261" Height="18" Property="_BrowseProperty" Indirect="yes" /> <Control Id="OK" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Default="yes" Text="[ButtonText_OK]"> <Publish Event="SetTargetPath" Value="INSTALLDIR">1</Publish> <Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="240" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17" Cancel="yes" Text="[ButtonText_Cancel]"> <Publish Event="Reset" Value="0">1</Publish> <Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="ComboLabel" Type="Text" X="25" Y="58" Width="44" Height="10" TabSkip="no" Text="&Look in:" /> <Control Id="DirectoryCombo" Type="DirectoryCombo" X="70" Y="55" Width="220" Height="80" Property="INSTALLDIR" Indirect="no" Fixed="yes" Remote="yes"> <Subscribe Event="IgnoreChange" Attribute="IgnoreChange" /> </Control> <Control Id="Up" Type="PushButton" X="298" Y="55" Width="19" Height="19" ToolTip="Up One Level" Icon="yes" FixedSize="yes" IconSize="16" Text="Up"> <Publish Event="DirectoryListUp" Value="0">1</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="NewFolder" Type="PushButton" X="325" Y="55" Width="19" Height="19" ToolTip="Create A New Folder" Icon="yes" FixedSize="yes" IconSize="16" Text="New"> <Publish Event="DirectoryListNew" Value="0">1</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="DirectoryList" Type="DirectoryList" X="25" Y="83" Width="320" Height="110" Property="INSTALLDIR" Sunken="yes" Indirect="no" TabSkip="no" /> <Control Id="PathLabel" Type="Text" X="25" Y="205" Width="59" Height="10" TabSkip="no" Text="&Folder name:" /> <Control Id="BannerBitmap" Type="Bitmap" X="0" Y="0" Width="370" Height="44" TabSkip="no" Text="[BannerBitmap]" /> <Control Id="Description" Type="Text" X="25" Y="23" Width="280" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes"> <Text>Browse to the destination folder</Text> </Control> <Control Id="BottomLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="234" Width="370" Height="0" /> <Control Id="Title" Type="Text" X="15" Y="6" Width="200" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes"> <Text>{\DlgTitleFont}Change current destination folder</Text> </Control> <Control Id="BannerLine" Type="Line" X="0" Y="44" Width="370" Height="0" /> </Dialog> --- Bradford Younie Senior Software Engineer Chase Paymentech Solutions 4 NE Blvd Salem, NH 03079-1952 Fax: 603-896-813 bradford.you...@chasepaymentech.com ---------- Learn more about Chase Paymentech Solutions,LLC payment processing services at www.chasepaymentech.com.
