Do you have Appsearch in the InstallExecute sequence? Also, you could check the log file and see what is happening.

I just need to be able to read a location out of a registry key and then store 3 files there. None of the examples really fit the bill, and the one example linked to in the big tutorial doesn't actually work. The relevant portion of my wix file is this: <Media Id="1" Cabinet="Product.cab" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Property Id="INSTALLDIR"> <RegistrySearch Id='SharepointRegistry' Type='raw' Root='HKLM' Key='SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\' Name='SharePoint' /> </Property> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="ml"> <Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="89C02981-D751-411f-9616-A202547F9D5F"> <File Id="MLSP_asmx"...> >From the docs, and tutorial, and samples, it LOOKS like the setting of INSTALLDIR in the property should work - it should set the INSTALLDIR value to be whatever was retrieved from the registry key. I just need to install my files in a subdirectory called "ml" under SharePoint's ISAPI directory. However, INSTALLDIR always gets set to d:\ instead for some reason. So INSTALLLOCATION always ends up d:\ml. Can someone PLEASE show me a working example of grabbing some location from a registry key and storing a file there? I'll give you a million billion dollars. Or at least my endless gratitude.
