2 ways you could achieve this off the top of my head. 1 - Use WiXUI_InstallDir (or whatever the WiXAware equivalent is) instead of WiXUI_Mondo/WiXUI_FeatureTree or whichever UI is using the SelectionTree control. You can then author a second dialog page after the InstallDirDlg to configure the LOG_DIRECTORY in the same way as INSTALLDIR.
2 - As above but modify the InstallDirDlg to have a second PathEdit control (with all the same extras as the original one) for the user to set your LOG_DIRECTORY instead of using a 2nd dialog. In either case I'd advise reading the following article on customizing the WiXUI written by regular list contributor Neil Sleigtholm -> http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html You may also want to see the following pages if you haven't already -> http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php#2.3 & http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_index.htm Personally I've never used WiXAware & have no intention to (I'm of the opinion that WiX code is so simple to author as is without any extra 'tools' but I'm a C++/C# developer too) so any of my advice could be completely inappropriate in this case. Votive (the WiX Visual Studio 'plug-in') is pretty awesome in WiX 3.0 & can be used with either the freely downloadable Visual Studio 2008 IDE only install or the Visual Studio Express Editions (also freely downloadable) if you don't have Visual Studio 2005/2008.

We're using also WiXAware application for design. Problem: We're trying to let the user edit 2 paths: INSTALLDIR and LOG_DIRECTORY, We have a text control and a browse button for each. When using a browse button that sends a SelectionBrowse event, the SelectionTreeControl opens a browse dialog and sends a SelectionPath event according to the user's choice. The problem is that we need INSTALLDIR and LOG_DIRECTORY to have different values but when using the dialog both properties change because they are both affected by the SelectionPath event. Another related problem is, that we want to be able to use the browse dialog without the SelectionTree control because we only have one feature in this installation so there is no need for it.
