hi,
i'm trying to write an installer for an addon. the dumb way, but i have to. 

i'm reading the main install path of the main/parent app from registry. it 
is stored there as a full path string like "D:\Not Program 
Files\InstalledHereInstead\Foo App\" 

i read it using
<Property Id="INSTALLDIR">
<RegistrySearch Id='mainprogdirsearch' Type='raw'
 Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Foo App\Setup Info' Name='locprogdir' />
</Property>
and i'm guessing it gets read because a condition on INSTALLDIR is not 
triggered. 

but here's my problem:
how do i then use this nice string path to actually specify the install 
location, that is otherwise and normally done by neatly nesting 
<Directory>-s one depth at the time 

thanks for your time end efforts in advance.
