The Name attribute of the Directory element is not of Formatted type (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx> ). I think you should use the type 35 (set a directory) custom action to accomplish what you want: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368093(VS.85).aspx <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368093(VS.85).aspx> Hope this helps. -- Yan

Subject: [WiX-users] How to use the value picked from a ComboBox? Hi The CustomAction will set (a list of values) to a ComboBox named TARGETWEBCOMBO in a Dialog. Then I want to use the (single) value the installer has picked in that ComboBox as the install directory. Using the code below, I got this C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\[TARGETWEBCOMBO]\ in the next dialog. What's wrong? ---------------- Wix code -------- <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="IISMain" Name="Inetpub"> <Directory Id="WWWMain" Name="wwwroot"> <Directory Id="SFS" Name="[TARGETWEBCOMBO]"> <Component Id="GetSitesComp" Guid="4E448681-4A71-4c10-89EB-F09F4521171E"> <File Id="DisplaySitesFile" Name="DisplaySites.vbs" Source=".\DisplaySites.vbs" DiskId="1"/> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Binary Id="DisplaySitesBin" SourceFile="C:\Dev\DisplaySite\DisplaySites.vbs" /> <CustomAction Id="caDisplayWebSites" BinaryKey="DisplaySitesBin" VBScriptCall="GetSites" Execute="immediate" Return="check" /> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="caDisplayWebSites" Before="PrepareDlg">Not Installed</Custom> </InstallUISequence> <Feature Id="Complete" Level="1" Title="SFS" ConfigurableDirectory="SFS"> <ComponentRef Id="GetSitesComp"/> </Feature> <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR">SFS</Property> <UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir_SFS" /> <UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" /> </Product> </Wix> Thanks Jirong Hu Build Master 780-644-5488 This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to which it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and or privileged information.
