Hi John,
I am using a  dialog indirectly. That dialog presents the results of a CA that 
collects info
about the windows server that the user is installing on. Based on a choice 
presented to
the user, it then publishes a value which the browse dialog uses (INSTALLDIR). 
This provides
the sane default choice given the windows servers existing state.

How does the InstallDirDlg handle applying WIXUI_INSTALLDIR to INSTALLDIR?
I am unclear on why it got overridden after initially being set correctly when 
the
user decided to override the default.

Thanks a lot!
