Try specifying l*v instead of lv.

Ok I ran the verbose install like this:
msiexec /i foo.msi /lv foo.txt however I didn't see anything in the log
that shows all the propertys? I did look for the value ( c:\users\public)
but it wasn't listed at all.

My other idea: try a verbose install on vista (my vista vm isn't running
right now, or I'd try it for you). Take a look at the properties at the end
of the log, is the property you need in there somewhere? You might be able
to use it the same way.

The problem is that it's not in the list.
Users\public is new "common" directory introduced in Vista, it's there on
every install.. if my user name was joe I would also have users\joe was
well.
The pubic folder contains music / docs / etc that all users inherit .
Since it's not a "named" folder is there another way to expand the
variable?

Jeff:
If it's in the following list, you can use it relatively easily.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa372057.aspx
The directory structure would look something like what is below (just the
beginning, you should be able to fill in the rest.
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <<<<----------- this
is the important part, change the id to match what you find in the msdn link
above.

I need to install some sample content into the %public%\pictures folder on
the target machine but I am unsure how to do this.
How do I specify a environment variable path for a directory element?
Thanks,
Jeff
