Thanks Bob. However, we need to allow
the user to specify the directory, including the drive. I can’t use
the “CommonAppDataFolder”; at least, not beyond using it as a
default path. Usually, my users will store data on a different
drive. I need to create the data directory and set specific user
permissions. I have figured out how to use the BrowseDlg as shown in the
InstallDirDlg. I have my own DataDirDlg that is spawns the BrowseDlg.
I can also create directories and set permissions. I just can’t seem
to use the directory that the user chooses in my DataDirDlg via the BroweDlg. In other words, I don’t understand
what happens when a user dismisses the BrowseDlg. It looks like _BrowseProperty is set with the new path. But how does my DataDirDlg map _BrowseProperty to my data path property? Here’s my DataDirDlg.
Notice the Browse pushbutton. I suspect here is part of my problem. … <Property

data directory from the user. I store the user’s selection in a
property. Now I need to create the directory using this property. I
have tried the following WiX code but when I run the MSI I immediately get this
error “Could not access network location CommonAppDataFolder”. How do I use properties with the Directory element? Don't use them directly. Let MSI create them for you.
