Hi.
(Apologies if this is a double post. It seems I first sent this from
an unregistered mail account and it never turned up in the archives,
so I'm retrying from the right account again)
I have the following scenario: I know that the customer is going to
place some stuff of my app on a NAS attached as E:\.
I don't have a drive with that letter on my dev machines (I do have a
test machine for that, but ..).
The goal for me is to predefine the path for this part of the
application to "E:\Some\Path" (it can be changed if installed
interactively), but that
fails with a really, really weird "Invalid short name" error that
seems to be a rather strange way to say "That's an invalid path" in my
custom action
that sets the DATADIR directory to a property with the value above.
So I guess my whole point is this: Is there a way, short of adding a
custom action myself, to define the property/directory to
"E:\Something" if "E:\"
exists or "C:\" otherwise?
Thanks in advance.
Relevant (as far as I can tell) snippets from the wxs:
<Property Id="DATAPATH" Secure="yes" Value="E:\Data\Config" />
...
<CustomAction Id="DefineDataDir" Directory="DATADIR"
Value="[DATAPATH]" Execute="immediate" />
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="DefineDataDir" After="CostFinalize" />
</InstallUISequence>
