Your code snippets look perfectly fine to me. I use code which is identical to all intents & purposes which works fine. However I would check a verbose log to see what's actually happening. Are you trying to install an x86 MSI to an X64 location (as in "Program Files" rather than "Program Files (x86)")?

Subject: [WiX-users] WixUI_InstallDir always installs to the same directory I'm using WixUI_InstallDir as the installer UI, and it pops up with my INSTALLDIR as the default directory as it should, but when I type in a different directory name into the text box, or browse to a different directory, it doesn't seem to accept it. Even though it looks like you're changing the install directory, it will always install to the default INSTALLDIR directory. Here is my directory definition: !--Define directory structure--> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="ManufacturerDirectory" Name="$(var.ManufacturerDirectoryName)"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="$(var.ProductName)"> <Directory Id="ExtensionsDirectory" Name="Extensions" /> <Directory Id="MultiConfigDirectory" Name="MultiConfig" /> <Directory Id="UpgraderDirectory" Name="Upgrader" /> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Directory Id="DesktopFolder" /> <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" /> </Directory> And the UI definition: <!--Define a UI--> <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir" /> <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="Resources\banner.bmp" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogBmp" Value="Resources\dialog.bmp" /> It doesn't seem like there's a lot that can go wrong there. Am I missing something?
