Ok, that works for setting INSTALLDIR, however it appears to be getting set after the files have alread installed. I have the following in my wxs, but it doesn't seem to be causing the CA to happen before it actually installs files.
<Binary Id="CustomAction.dll" SourceFile=" $(var.CustomAction.TargetDir)$(var.CustomAction.TargetName).CA.dll" /> <CustomAction Id="SetMirInstallDir" BinaryKey="CustomAction.dll" DllEntry=" SetMirInstallDir" Execute="immediate"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SetMirInstallDir" Before="InstallFiles" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> I'll try a couple of other Before targets, but if anyone has done this before it'd be a big help.
