Hi, thanks for fast reply! In the MSI log I can see that it actually finds the correct SETUPFOLDER path from registry, but then there are some rows saying: Ignoring disallowed property SETUPFOLDER
But I can see that it finds the correct path because further down in the log I have something like AppSearch: Property: SETUPFOLDER, Signature: SETUPFOLDER MSI (c) (F0:80) [17:32:47:087]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Signature 3: -2147287038 MSI (c) (F0:80) [17:32:47:087]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding SETUPFOLDER property. Its value is '\\rrdb\xxx\xxx\Setup'. And then an .ini file is written and it now the log (almost at the very end) says: MSI (s) (3C:44) [17:34:07:697]: Executing op: IniWriteRemoveValue(Section=INSTANCE,Key=SetupFolder,,Mode=0) WriteIniValues: File: xxx.ini, Section: INSTANCE, Key: SetupFolder, Value: Note that the value: is empty. And then at the very very end of the log file it states the properties: Property(C): SETUPFOLDER = \\rrdb\xxx\xxx\Setup So again it has the correct value but it does not want to use it when specifying the target of the shortcut. Hope this gives you some idea...
