Summary: FileSearch - omitting the Id does not return the parent dir
Initial Comment:
The WiX documentation for the FileSearch element says: "Specify the Id when you
want to find the path to a file. Leave the Id absent if you want to find the
parent directory of a file."
I tested this in the current 3.0.2211.0 release with the following search
property:
<Property Id="MYFILE">
<DirectorySearch Depth='0' Id="dir_search_1" Path="C:\Temp\">
<FileSearch Name="myfile.txt" />
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
...which finds the file just fine, however it sets the property MYFILE to the
full path including the filename.
Based on the documentation, I expected it to return the path up to but not
including the filename.
(I'm checking the value of MYFILE using the MSI log output and by writing it to
a Registry value.)
So:
- the documentation is incorrect, or
- there is a bug, or
- I'm doing something wrong :)

Definitely a bug. Exists in v2.0.4820.0 also.
Very irritating bug as it's completely breaking a feature in my
installer.
In the above example the property would be assigned the path
"C:\Temp\myfile.txt\" which is clearly wrong.
