Hi, I want to install my SDK in a parallel directory of the Silverlight SDK install dir.
So I query the SLv3.0 SDK install dir as follows: <Property Id="SL30SDKINSTALLDIR"> <RegistrySearch Id="RegSearchSL30InstallPath" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\Install Path" Name="Install Path" Root="HKLM" Type="raw" /> </Property> The value in SL30SDKINSTALLDIR = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\ My question is how to strip from SL30SDKINSTALLDIR the trailing "Silverlight\v3.0\" so that I can get a property value "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\" I tried the following, but it does not work: the installer complains about the illegal directory name "..": <CustomAction Id="SetMsSdkInstallDir" Property="MSSDKINSTALLDIR" Value="[SL30SDKINSTALLDIR]..\.." /> Any ideas on how to do this?
