That scenario is not supported by the "shortcut versions" of SetProperty/SetDirectory. You can open a feature request but right now the behavior is known and by design (limitation).

Unfortunately, the vendor decided to change the registry key under which the install location is found when they released a service pack. I would like to use SetDirectory with conditions rather than explicitly code the Type 51 custom actions, but I am getting duplicate symbol errors on compile for the following fragment. I tried using a single SetDirectory with two SetProperty elements (to say P.PRODUCT_X_PLUGINS_ACTUAL) but found the same issue with duplicate symbols for the SetProperty. Any suggestions, or should I log a feature/bug for this. <Fragment> <Property Id="P.PRODUCT_X_PLUGINS" > <RegistrySearch Id="RS.ProductXPlugins" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Vendor\X" Name="InstallDir" Type="directory" > <DirectorySearch Id="DS.ProductXPlugins" Path="Plugins" Depth="1"/> </RegistrySearch> </Property> <Property Id="P.PRODUCT_XSP1_PLUGINS" > <RegistrySearch Id="RS.ProductXSP1Plugins" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Vendor\XSP1" Name="InstallDir" Type="directory" > <DirectorySearch Id="DS.ProductXSP1Plugins" Path="Plugins" Depth="1"/> </RegistrySearch> </Property> <DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR"> <Directory Id="D.ProductX.Plugins"/> </DirectoryRef> <SetDirectory Id="D.ProductX.Plugins" Value="[P.PRODUCT_X_PLUGINS]" Sequence="execute">P.PRODUCT_X_PLUGINS</SetDirectory> <SetDirectory Id="D.ProductX.Plugins" Value="[P.PRODUCT_XSP1_PLUGINS]" Sequence="execute">P.PRODUCT_XSP1_PLUGINS</SetDirectory> </Fragment> David ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
