Hello Sandun, You cannot initialize the property default value with another property value or environment variable. You may either use a SetProperty custom action or get the default value from the registry using a <RegistrySearch> within that <Property> to get the environment variable value from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment (System variables) or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment (User variables)

That location is read from an env. variable. I am not quite sure how to do it. <Property Id="INSTALLLOCATION">[%myPath]</Property> is not working. (When installing I get an error saying "Could not find network location [%myPath]") Any idea regarding this?
