That is probably what I will end up doing. The only reason i was shooting for
not hardcoding the versioned directory is because i wanted the person
installing to have the ability to choose a completely different INSTALLDIR
(without the version in it) if they so choose.
It isn't very important for them to do this, but it did turn into an
interesting problem for me of "how could i do this?" :)
the only solution i can think of right now would be to get my hands on the
string library that was talked about in "remove trailing path from slash" if it
had enough functionality to work it. i agree though, it probably isn't worth
the trouble.
thanks,
steve

I would like to modify this (or find a better way :P) to now have the
installation remember the APPLICATIONDIR directory instead of the INSTALLDIR in
the directory hierarchy below so that when the next version is installed it

INSTALLDIR.
Why not just write APPLICATIONDIR to the registry? Then point WIXUI_INSTALLDIR
to APPLICATIONDIR and "hard-code" the versioned directory.
