So, what does NETFRAMEWORK20INSTALLROOTDIR64 evaluate to from the install log?

And this: xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; The project builds, but as soon as the msi runs it throws an error "The folder path '?' has an invalid character" (well duh, ? is invalid) If I comment this EventSource node out, the installer runs just fine. I have tried EventMessageFile="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\EventLogMessages.dll", but even that gives the same message. I've googled until my googler is sore, can't discover what is wrong. Thanks, Tony This Email is covered by the Electronic Communication Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C 2510-2521 and may be legally privileged.
