1. Advanced UI takes a bit of work to make it work. Bob can answer the
questions better (one day he promises he's going to write a compiler extension
to make it easier)
2. How to reference env vars? Do you want build time or run time?
Build time: $(env.BUILDMACHINEVAR).
Run time: [%CUSTOMERSMACHINEVAR]

Subject: [WiX-users] WixUI_Advanced Usage
Hi,
Only just learning this new program and have started in the deep end with Wix3.
I am trying to create my directory levels as follows:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="AquariusCommsFolder" Name="Aquarius Communications 2">
<Directory Id="APPLICATIONFOLDER" Name="[ApplicationFolderName]" >
<Component Id="Bin"
ApplicationFolderName is "MyClubV2".
The problem is that when installing using WixUI_Advanced, the default all users
directory is coming up as C:\Program Files\MyClubV2 and not C:\Program
Files\Aquarius Communications 2\MyClubV2 as I want it to.
How do I get around this?
Also, when I used INSTALLDIR in place of APPLICATIONFOLDER (and used
WixUI_INSTALLDIR) the full path as I wanted worked.
Another question while I'm here :-) : How do I retrieve user environment
variables into WiX ?
Thanks in advance.
Glen.
