Probably because WiXUI doesn't have any idea what your INSTALLFOLDER property is or does. If you're trying to set the contents of the PathEdit in InstallDirDlg you should probably use the WIXUI_INSTALLDIR property associated with it as detailed in the manual -> http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_installdir.htm

I am changing the property with the following. <Publish Dialog="InstallScopeDlg" Control="Next" Property="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="[WixPerUserFolder]" Order="4">WixAppFolder = "WixPerUserFolder"</Publish> Then if I publish to InstallDirDlg after changing this it breaks. I am open to a better way of doing this also as I have just started using WiX. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Why-does-changing-INSTALLFOLDER-cause-InstallDirDlg-to-break-tp7583551.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
