Why does this wxs file work (i.e. the single file to install is installed at the correct location)

The non-working one is referencing VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR from the WixVsExtensiion. The single file I'm trying to install is winding up at F:\. The AppSearch section of the log for the non-working one looks like this: Action 19:23:35: AppSearch. Searching for installed applications Action start 19:23:35: AppSearch.

Is one not allowed to reference WixVsExtension properties when trying to create my own? BTW, I'm using WIX 3.5.1309.0. Tried both 64-bit and 32-bit Vista. They act the same. - Cody ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
