I used to have some MSMs created by Wise that had an entry in the directory tree of INSTALLDIR. This entry didn't have modularization (i.e. no GUID appended) and as such when I merged this MSM into an MSI, whatever value of the MSI's INSTALLDIR was, I was able to use this propery in my MSM's source code. Particularly, I have some registry keys that write values like [INSTALLDIR]\blah.exe.
However, now that I am using Wix, it appears I can't get this same behavior which seems odd. If I decompiled the Wise MSM, I ended up with two root directories (i.e. TARGETDIR and INSTALLDIR) which apparently is illegal. So my question is how do I setup my MSMs so that I can use the INSTALLDIR property that is set in my MSI. Right now, I simply have <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR"> ... </Directory> </Directory> -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Using-INSTALLDIR-in-MSM-That-Eventually-Reflects-the-MSIs-INSTALLDIR-tp2935794p2935794.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
