Hi, if I try your wxs and validate the resulting msi I get ICE12 ERROR CustomAction: Assign_E_ROOT is of type: 115 referring to a Directory. Therefore it must come before CostFinalize @ 1000 in Seq Table: InstallExecuteSequence. CA Seq#: 1002 ICE12 ERROR CustomAction: Assign_C_ROOT is of type: 115 referring to a Directory. Therefore it must come before CostFinalize @ 1000 in Seq Table: InstallExecuteSequence. CA Seq#: 1001 ICE68 ERROR Invalid custom action type for action 'Assign_E_ROOT'. ICE68 ERROR Invalid custom action type for action 'Assign_C_ROOT'.
Try to schedule both custom actions before CostInitialize. That prevents ICE12. Fixing ICE12 is probably enough. However, if you remove Return="ignore" from the custom action element ICE68 is gone, too. Custom action type 51 (set property) does not use that option. After that your example works as intended.
