A type 51 doesn't require any code in a Dll or anything. It would be a type 51 with Source of ARPINSTALLLOCATION and the Target is (say) [TARGETDIR]. (I hate that it's that way around and not the reverse.) There are some sequencing restrictions (before CostFinalize) and it would be after TARGETDIR is set, and I'd condition it on Not Installed.

Is there a way to do this with "standard" Wix commands, or only with a custom action and a native dll. Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys.
