The warning most likely comes from the "C:\" part of "C:\MyDefaultDir\". Not all Windows platforms have a "C:" drive. You may want to find a different way to "compute" a default location for new installations.

But i'm getting compilator warnings for that. I tried to search from registry to another property and then set INSTALLDIR to my value via Set Folder and Set Property custom actions but that didn't work. Is there any way to set the INSTALLDIR before the Select Directory dialog without warnings? Also i wonder if i can omit the Select Directory dialog if i have successfully found my installation path in registry. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/setting-default-INSTALLDIR-tp4100396p4100396.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
