This is the source code from WIX Browse_dialog and InstallDirDlg, did you try
doing the same for your other dialog?
The below is from the browse dialog that shows up when user clicks on browse.
<Dialog Id="MyBrowseDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="!(loc.BrowseDlg_Title)">
<Control Id="PathEdit" Type="PathEdit" X="25" Y="202"
Width="320" Height="18" Property="_BrowseProperty" Indirect="yes" />
<Control Id="OK" Type="PushButton" X="240" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUIOK)">
<Publish Event="SetTargetPath"
Value="[_BrowseProperty]">1</Publish>
<Publish Event="EndDialog" Value="Return">1</Publish>
</Control>
Below is the code from the InstallDirDlg that has the path once the user
selects the install location. I have excluded a few line which are not
required.
<Dialog Id="MyInstallDirDlg" Width="370" Height="270"
Title="!(loc.InstallDirDlg_Title)">
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Default="yes" Text="!(loc.WixUINext)" >
<Control Id="Folder" Type="PathEdit" X="20" Y="100" Width="320"
Height="18" Property="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Indirect="yes" />
As you can see the browse_property holds the path the user selected. In the
UI.wxs where you sequence all your dialogs:
<Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SetTargetPath"
Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="MyInstallDirDlg" Control="ChangeFolder"
Property="_BrowseProperty" Value="[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]" Order="1">1</Publish>
Probably you can do the same for your other dialog too .

Thanks for the question. Yes. One is used to set the install location. The one
I'm struggling with is the second one.
Thanks for any help!

Does the user have 2 separate browse dialogs during installation?

Subject: [WiX-users] Use Path from BrowseDlg to Set Registry Value (Not the
Install Path)
I'm new to the list (and new to WiX). I've built a few installs, but I have a
new one that is giving me fits.
Can anyone share with me (or point me to a resource or disabuse me of false
notions) how I can set a property (not a Directory property) a user browsed for
(it's a mapped drive)? Why would I want to do this? I need to enable the user
to browse for a second path and then use that path to set a registry value (no
files are installed in this second location during the installation). Where I'm
stuck is updating the property with what the path the user browsed for. I an
error about the property not being in the Directory table.
I've tried two things (using resources found online), but I've failed at both
of them.
1. I used a directory browse dialog, but I got the error about the
directory not being in the directory table.
2. I tried to set a directory property, but I then got an error about
the drive not being local.
I'm sure I'm missing something.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Amanda Mallinger
