With the registry key fix you suggested, setting INSTALLDIR as a property worked fine, and no custom actions or follow ups were needed. So just for the record, here is a finally working version of my .wxs file, which installs files based on a registry key: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";> <Product Manufacturer="My Software Corp." Id="2997E6AB-09BF-446B-A11F-EF40F546BD7C" Language="1033" Name="My Web Service" Version="4.0.0.0"> <Package Id="44F26F48-D493-4C7F-9A30-5496400A0AB0" Keywords="Installer" Description="WebService for stuff" Comments="No Comment" Manufacturer="My Software Corp."

Of course, that's an MSI issue, not a wix issue, but it sure would have saved me time. -- Regards, cf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
