Thanks Bob.  I tested your suggestion as a launch condition and that works.

But now I realize that I need to force the user to select a different drive on the CustomDlg screen.  I suspect I need to modify that dialog and implement a control condition that only enables the Next button when the drives are different.  Does this sound about right?

My installer needs to install on a volume other than where Windows is installed (it’s a security issue for our app).  I can use the WindowsVolume property to find the drive Windows is installed on; I can have the user specify the installation directory (and drive).  But I need to verify that the install dir is on a different drive than Windows.

Try the >< (substring) operator. (See "Conditional Statement Syntax" for a list.)
