Are you building an x86 & x64 MSI because you can't have the same MSI install to both the x64 Program Files & the x86 Program Files. An x86 MSI on an x64 platform will always install to "Program Files (x86)", you can't target x64 specific directories from an x86 MSI & MSI's must be platform specific.

However, this solution does not seem to work for me. I am trying to install an application to c:\PlatformSpecificProgramFilesFolder\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName] Here is the relevant directory structure <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)"> <Directory Id="ManufacturerDir" Name ="[Manufacturer]"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="[ProductName]" > ... ... </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> Since the 'Name' attribute is not a formatted field I have defined following custom actions <CustomAction Id="SetManufacturerDirectory" Directory="ManufacturerDir" Value="[Manufacturer]" /> <CustomAction Id="SetProductNameDirectory" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION" Value="[ProductName]" /> I have tried to schedule these Before CostFinalize but I get a message to schedule it elsewhere as there are other custom actions so sequence numbers immediately before or after CostFinalize are not available. I therefore scheduled them with explicit sequence number after looking at MSI in ORCA. I am scheduling these in UI sequence because I need to show the directory to the user in the dialog as the features are in the configurable directory allowing the user to choose another install directory. <InstallUISequence> .... <Custom Action="SetManufacturerDirectory" Sequence="1005" /> <Custom Action="SetProductNameDirectory" Sequence="1006" /> ... <Show Dialog="WelcomeForm" Sequence="1007">Installed="" AND NOT RESUME</Show> ... </InstallUISequence> However, this does not work and on XP the path resolves to c:\Program Files\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName] Thanks Umesh Vishwajit Walke wrote: > > Thanks Nick.
