I'm not using merge modules for this sample... the wxs file in the OP is the sole source I'm using. However... I searched through the source of my earlier attempts at this and the very first one had a custom action Assign_TARGETDIR... I'd forgotten I'd done that, sorry. But this was in a differently named .wxs file in another folder, so I'm not sure why this info was getting bound into my .msi... yet not showing up in ORCA. I was definitely not referencing the older wxs file... I assume it has something to do with the fact that I had not changed the GUID on the Product since I started futzing around with this sample last weekend. I replaced ALL the GUIDs in my sample .wxs file with new ones, and the phantom Assign_TARGETDIR is now gone. Weird... I don't understand where it was coming from. Anyway... While the phantom Assign_TARGETDIR is gone, now I get a fatal error.... Log file snippet: Action ended 12:05:55: CostFinalize. Return value 1.
