Hi Nir,
Thanks for the response.
Seems I need to change my dialogue, currently I define the Property element
before the Dialogue and within the dialogue I
<Property Id="MYID" Value="xxx" />
<Dialog Id="My Dialog " ...
<Control Type="Edit" ... Property="MYID" />
After which I am able to use [MYID] in the various locations I need.
<Fragment>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="CompanyName" Name="Company Name">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="App Name (some default)" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<SetDirectory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Value="C:\Program Files (x86)\ Company
Name\App Name ([MYID])" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLFOLDER" />
</Fragment>
This falls apart as the directory chosen in the InstallDirDlg is not honored.
Is the initial approach of defining the user specified variable correct to
start?
Thanks!
