Hey James, Now you are asking me to give you information that is not a best practice (hard coding to a drive) <grin/>. It would be best that you specify, using all CAPITAL LETTERS (this is a public property in Windows Installer) the two different root directories.
<Directory Id="ROOT_DIR1" Name="ROOT_DIR1"> <Directory Id="SubDir1" Name="SubDir1" /> </Directory> <Directory Id="ROOT_DIR2" Name="ROOT_DIR2"> <Directory Id="SubDir2" Name="SubDir2" /> </Directory> Then, when executing the MSI via the command line use something like this: msiexec /i product.msi ROOT_DIR1=D:\SomeFolder1 ROOT_DIR2=D:\SomeFolder2 Hope that helps, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity." - Me http://icumove.spaces.live.com On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 10:37 AM, MacDiarmid, James D < james.macdiar...@eds.com> wrote: > > Ok I see where there is a <DirectoryRef />.
