I don't really understand your suggestion.
I have 18 tabs of google searches open, and reading the WiX help, and looking
at the source code for four days now.
Finally found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16946701/wix-installer-how-can-i-show-the-value-of-manufacturer-in-the-install-path
I'm sure this is not the way to do it, but it does have the redeeming quality
of working:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder">
<Directory Id="ManufacturerFolder"
Name="!(bind.property.Manufacturer)">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION"
Name="!(bind.property.ProductName)"></Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Thanks,
Tony

It means what it says. There's already a Manufacturer property. I use the
Directory@Id "CompanyFolder". Rather than go through all the machinations, use
WixUI_InstallDir and let it adjust your INSTALLLOCATION.
There's documentation on this in both the WiX help and the on-line tutorials.

The goal is to set the installation directory to C:\Program Files\Ent Federal
Credit Union\ProductName
This produces a build error:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder"
Name="ProgramFiles">
<Directory Id="Manufacturer" Name="Company">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION"
Name="LogonTimerService"></Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Error 2 ICE99: The directory name: Manufacturer is the same as one of
the MSI Public Properties and can cause unforeseen side effects.
I found somewhere that using a custom action I could set a directory value
using the [Manufacturer] property.
Is there another way?
Thanks,
Tony

Why are you setting TARGETDIR with a custom action? This is not usually a
good practice, and overriding TARGETDIR is usually reserved for activities like
admin installs. If you want to set up a variable InstallLocation, there are
much better patterns to follow to achieve this.

So then the question is. Why does adding the EventSource node cause the custom

I'm going to get another log with the EventSource removed and see what is
different.

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

Subject: [WiX-users] adding event source during install
I would like to add this node to my component, to make sure a specific event
source exists:
<util:EventSource
Log="Application"
Name="LogonTimer"
EventMessageFile="[NETFRAMEWORK20INSTALLROOTDIR64]EventLogMessages.dll"
/>
I have these also:
<PropertyRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK20" />
<PropertyRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK20INSTALLROOTDIR64" /> <PropertyRef
Id="NETFRAMEWORK40FULL" /> <PropertyRef Id="NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR64"
/>
Just in case adding more of them would make the problem go away.
And this:
xmlns:util="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension&k=B%2B6yjDIOl%2FIBFdn7TPTJ1w%3D%3D%0A&r=YFkUslLBsKTVopesyo1A5w%3D%3D%0A&m=i9T88zrG0Ae6T%2BrQJNzojxCMwh8Zn88M36g7zy93G4c%3D%0A&s=d4af28933ca92a0227b24ff2b3b8cfc56b3211014a888e74f31ef5f020c14fc4";
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
